Wrist Watch?

Published

Has anyone purchased a wrist watch for clinicals yet? If so, what is your favorite?

:wink2:

Thanks!

I was thinking of getting a lapel watch and attaching it to the uniform so that I didn't have to worry about looking on my wrist.

When you buy a watch for nursing there are a couple things to consider, as other people have stated:

1. make sure you can get it wet, you wash your hands several times an hour

2. make sure it's easy to use--> if you get a digital watch make sure there's a stop clock for IVP meds

3. make sure it's cost effective (a good digital watch can go for $12-20 and last for a couple of years)

4. make sure it's comfortable and easy to read

Their my suggestions, hope they help.
