What type of compression socks should nurses wear?
Nurses need comfortable, slip-resistant pairs so you can move quickly and freely when there's a code blue. Stretchy, moisture-wicking fabrics like nylon and Spandex can also help keep your feet dry for hours.
How to shop for the best compression socks for nurses?
In case you're not familiar with how compression socks are designed, the pressure in them is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). Compression socks have a pressure rating of light, mild, and heavy. A light pressure rating is anything between 10 and 20 mmHg, while a mild pressure rating is 15 to 20 mmHg. On the other hand, a firm compression rating has a range of 20 to 30 mmHg. It's best to consult your doctor to figure out the best pressure rating for you, but generally, going lighter is the best way to start.
"I usually recommend a lighter compression, like 10 to 15 or 15 to 20, to begin with, and for more moderate to severe swelling, we start to go up in numbers, such as 20 to 30 or 30 to 40, which should be a custom fit and prescribed by a doctor," Priya Parthasarathy, D.P.M., a podiatrist based in Silver Spring, MD, and spokesperson for the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA), said in a previous interview with Prevention.

What are the benefits of compression socks for nurses?
Compression socks are designed to improve blood circulation which eradicates the heavy feel and leg fatigue often experienced by nurses. The lighter feel of the legs makes work much easier. The use of compression socks by nurses also decreases swelling of ankles and feet.
