What is a Nurse Watch?
Watches for nurses are similar to pocket watches. They consist of a small round case with an integrated clockwork. Glass covers either the watch hands and dial or, in the case of digital models, the display. In contrast to pocket watches, nurse watches are not worn in the pocket, but on clothing or on the smock itself. They are attached to the clothes with a brooch, which is equipped with either a clip or a pin. The nurse watch is connected to the brooch with a short chain.
There are also nurse watches with silicone covers. They don´t have a chain, as silicone covers form a unit with the watch. Usually, the case of a nurse watch can simply be opened to change the battery.
Time in view with the nurse watches
The specialty: the dial is rotated 180 degrees. So the clock is upside down. The design ensures that you can easily read the time while looking down. Wearing jewelry is prohibited in hospitals. This also includes watches. A clip-on watch, like the nurse watch, is therefore the only way to carry a watch with you. This means that hand hygiene regulations are observed and work is made easier.
In addition, the nurse watch offers other practical advantages, such as:
- easy to clean material
- particularly suitable for determining pulse and breathing rate
- helpful with all times
- handy, practical and easy to read
- versatile also in other areas

What does a nurse use the nurse watch for?
A nurse watch is probably most often used as a heart rate monitor. When the pulse is measured, the caregiver uses the second hand to help and measures the pulse waves every 15 seconds. That is why the dial of the nurse watch is equipped with a second hand. The nurse multiplies this value by four to get the result for one minute. This is one of the reasons why many nurse watches are equipped with a so-called tachymeter, a pulse scale. It simplifies pulse measurement for the caregiver.
In addition, the nurse watch is used for documentation in order to enter precise times. It is also important for adhering to certain timelines, for example when administering medication. The areas of application are diverse because, especially in medical facilities, the time must always be in view without endangering proper hygiene.
What kinds nurse watches are available?
