8 Discounted Products Nurses Depend on to Survive Lengthy Shifts

When it comes to finding products that maximize comfort while still maintaining practicality and utility, nurses are the pros. Well, they’re the pros in a lot of different aspects, but medical knowledge aside, you know that if a nurse uses a product, it’s a keeper. And that’s exactly why we’re turning to them for the best picks to shop during the two-day Amazon Prime Day sales event going on today and tomorrow. 

From cushioning insoles to soothing massage guns, check out eight nurse-approved deals that will keep you comfortable through long, day-and-night shifts. 

The foundation for all-day comfort starts with supportive shoes, and nurses say the Hey Dude Wendy Loafer.

Now, I know we just talked about the importance of getting the right shoes for 12-plus hour workdays. But even the comfiest, most durable shoes need a little extra support when you’re wearing them down day after day. 

When they’re not tending to patients during lengthy shifts, nurses need their shut eye, which is always easier said than done. That’s why nurses rely on Thisworks Deep Sleep Pillow Spray.

Even for non-nurses, a lot of nighttime tossing and turning can come from muscle aches — which means easing pain by loosening stiffness is a necessity. That’s where your handy-dandy massage gun comes in.

Now, just because you’ve set yourself up for a perfect night’s sleep doesn’t necessarily mean you’re going to get it, despite post-shift exhaustion — something healthcare workers know all too well. Nurses rely on Baebody’s Eye Gel.

Most hospital shifts demand a considerable amount of walking and standing, which is why so many healthcare workers turn to New Balance Women's Fresh Foam Roav V1 Sneaker.

Post-work soreness is normal, but the chronic aches and pains that come with hours of standing can seriously impact your sleep, stress levels, and ability to focus. For quick relief, many nurses reach for topicals like anti-inflammatory cream. Main ingredient arnica soothes swelling and relaxes sore joints and muscles while an aloe vera base leaves a light, cooling, and non-sticky texture. This cream The Feel Good Lab Natural Pain Relief Cream.

Foot and ankle swelling is one of your body’s natural responses to exertion. However, in the midst of a hectic day when resting isn't an option, fluid buildup can start to make your shoes uncomfortably tight, leading to blisters and bunions. Wearing compression socks is one of the simplest ways to keep swelling at bay for a full shift, and many medical professionals swear by this pair. “These are a true lifesaver” raved one nurse dealing with swelling due to pregnancy. “They have reduced the swelling and pain significantly” and “have made it so much easier to pull my 12 hour shifts.” Another agreed that the design  “is cool and breathable” and doesn’t“don't “roll down or bend no matter how much I move.”
