When choosing the perfect nurse preceptor gift, you want to try to think of one that will actually be used instead of just sitting around gathering dust or something which isn’t practical so don’t choose anything too expensive or extravagant.

HP HC Edition 800 G4 AiO Built with Nurses and Clinicians in Mind

HP HC Edition 800 G4 AiO Built with Nurses and Clinicians in Mind

I recently had the opportunity to try out the HP HC Edition 800 G4 AiO (All in One) and am partnering with Hewlett Packard for this post. All opinions expressed are my own. I was especially interested in this because of its interesting safety and security features, specifically from the healthcare perspective. I’ve used many computers while providing patient care in the past, so I have a particularly critical eye when it comes to evaluating if the functionality is truly optimized for the nurse or provider.

Best Compression Socks for Nurses

Best Compression Socks for Nurses

When I become a nurse, I knew that it would entail long hours of standing and lots and lots of walking. Even with the best shoes, there was something missing from my uniform. Compression socks! As a nurse, we learn all about compression hose and socks for post-op patients to help prevent blood clots and to promote circulation. These same tools could help my poor aching feet. But there are hundreds of different kinds of compression socks. How do you know which are the best compression socks for nurses?
