Know a nurse in your life and want to show them your gratitude? In honor of National Nurses Week, PRO Compression would like to tip their hats off to and get those compression socks onto the nurses that deserve them the most. Here are just a few of many reasons why nurses are top-notch human beings and how compression socks for nurses are the perfect way to show them love.
Nurses are the front line of defense in a medical setting. The role requires carrying an immense amount of pressure and staying calm under super stressful situations—making it one of the toughest jobs. They’re expected to provide medical assistance to both patients and doctors, and be able to adjust to any situation at the drop of a dime. The challenges they face are truly unique—from everyday tasks that are seemly small but extremely crucial, like taking blood pressure, to helping the doctor do open heart surgery or comforting a family that has just lost a love one. Nurses are the ones who keep the fabric together and strengthen the foundation of any hospital or doctor’s office so that the best care can be provided.
An extra-long shift is the norm for nurses everywhere. They are required to tend to patients around the clock, and constantly be on their feet. After a day of running around from patient to patient, it’s natural for legs to get sore and swelling in the feet and calves to occur. That’s where compression socks for nurses come in handy. Compression socks built with graduated compression can work to decrease swelling. The special science behind the design is what keeps blood circulating and oxygen flowing to tired muscles. With more oxygen-rich cells brought to the areas that are being used the most, swelling and inflammation is then decreased. Compression socks can help nurses stay on their feet for longer and stay comfortable throughout the long shifts at the hospital.
Doctors will often rely on their nurses to know medical knowledge front to back. Nurses are the ones who work day in and day out, first-hand with patients and truly apply their training and education in everyday practice. Their input can be critical in any emergency situation, and doctors and patients alike, can truly be grateful for their expertise. They are some of the most reliable sources within a hospital, and constantly have the answers and solutions to the most challenging matters.
When everyone in the room is in panic, you can usually count on the nurse to be the most level-headed, calm one—which helps enormously in emergency situations. Nurses are trained to stay collected when an emergency arises. This helps them provide the proper care under stress and pressure, because they are able to keep a clear mind and make vital decisions. And this attitude is contagious in the best way. Those who surround nurses can gain a sense of calm when they can sense a situation is under control, which ultimately reduces the amount of stress in a room—this allows the focus to shift to fixing the problem at hand.
Nurses can use compression socks in a number of ways. As mentioned before, compression socks, particularly over-the-knee calf compression socks built with graduated compression technology, are extremely useful for tending and preventing sore legs that result from long shifts. To add, they can fit snuggly under scrubs. Nurses can also wear compression socks post-shift to help recover and rejuvenate after a day’s (or night’s) worth of hard work. During recovery time, compression socks work to ensure that there’s more blood flowing to the limbs that need it most. They can help tired and achy muscles recover quickly thanks to the increased amount of oxygen-rich blood cells moving towards the lower limbs and feet. The specialty socks also work to reduce inflammation from happening within joints and limbs thanks to the graduated compression design.
