These tools and gears are essential for getting me through a shift. I wouldn’t be able to provide the same level of care without them.

Some of these tools are so important and effective that I believe my quality of care would suffer without them.

Best Watch and Fitness Trackers For Nurses

If you’re looking for a watch, I’d likely recommend getting a smartwatch due to the range of functionality it offers.

Some of these features include built-in reminders and timers, hands-free notifications from your phone, and step counting and physical activity tracking (if that’s important to you).

If you’re in the Apple ecosystem, the best option is the latest Apple Watch (or the previous generation).

Apple Watch Series 9
Pretty much the best watch for nurses who use an Apple iPhone.

If you’re in the Android ecosystem, both the Pixel Watch and the Samsung Galaxy Watch are solid choices.

I’ve tried both, and while you can’t really go wrong with either, I’m personally more partial to the Galaxy Watch for Android users.

If the smartwatch features aren’t particularly important to you and you’re more interested in a dedicated fitness tracker, there are other options available.

I think Fitbit is still probably the best choice for this purpose, but there are, of course, cheaper alternatives out there.

Non-Smartwatches

If you’re looking for something that’s not a smartwatch then you can’t go wrong with either the Seidel Petit Scrub Watch

This watch is a durable, water-resistant watch designed for medical professionals like nurses, doctors, and EMTs. It features an easy-to-read dial with military time and a red secondhand for taking pulse readings. The watch has a comfortable silicone band and a 28mm stainless steel case, making it a practical choice for active healthcare workers.

For a more masculine loking watch consider the Casio Men’s Quartz watch.

But don’t let its budget-friendly price tag fool you – this Casio timepiece is built to last, with a durable resin case and 100m water resistance rating.

Best Earbuds For Nurses

Being a seasoned nurse, I’ve evaluated countless earbuds and narrowed it down to two that stand above the rest.

For the iPhone users among us, the Apple AirPods Pro is the way to go.

But if Android phones are more your speed, look no further than the Google Pixel Buds Pro.

Here’s why.
