Personal Finance / Stethoscope Charms

If you’re a nurse at the bedside, most jobs will require you to keep a stethoscope handy to complete your patient assessments. We’ve all seen the boring black and navy blue stethoscopes hanging from the necks of nurses and other medical professionals. 

While there isn’t much variation to select from among stethoscopes, there are unique charms to give your tool some extra flare.

#3 Medisave analog stethoscope watch

If you’re a nurse looking for a more practical tool to add to your stethoscope, this watch might be a great addition to your arsenal of nursing gadgets. Sometimes certain nursing tasks require assessing a patient in seconds or minutes. Taking vital signs manually can be a pain if you don’t have a watch with a second hand nearby. 

Some nurses prefer not to wear wristwatches, particularly if you work in a specialty where you are wearing head to toe gowns and gloves like in the OR or ICU. This watch has a back clip to attach to your stethoscope tubing with a 24 hour face and rests in a water resistant case. 

Price: $14.99

How to choose your charms

Fit

When purchasing a stethoscope charm, take into consideration the sizing of both your charm and stethoscope. Most websites that sell stethoscope charms will say “charm fits most stethoscopes” so if you happen to have a stethoscope that is an irregular or non-standard size, you might have a harder time finding a good fit. 

Consider whether you want a charm that is sleek and uniform with a low profile or something large and easily seen. If you own the same type of stethoscope as several other nurses on your unit or team, a larger charm might help you easily identify yours in a nurse’s station or office space.

Personal style

Are you interested in bold and bright colors or neutrals and understated tones? Do you like your tools to stick out and act as a point of conversation, or are you looking for a charm that will only add practicality and usefulness to your shift? 

When it comes to charms, the sky’s the limit! Font styles, patterns, prints, solids, symbols and other designs are all available to make your tool as unique and fashionable as you desire. 

Next steps

There are dozens of websites out there to assist you in your search for the right stethoscope charm. Most options are extremely affordable, which makes these accessories a great gift for either yourself or the wonderful nurse in your life.

Finding the right charm can add a lot of fun to your day and put a smile on your patient’s face. Enjoy shopping for the right charm and don’t be afraid to let your style and personality shine!
