Crocs or Not? | Why Nurses don’t wear crocs 👀

[RaidenKei]

They have crocs with no holes now! I sometimes use it in labs when my feet needs comfort and its going to be a long day

I wear regular shoes to work. I couldn't imagine the Crocs as a nurse. You could get piss, shit, puke or blood soaking into your socks.

When I was in college we wore crocs in the kitchen. But they had to be the ones without holes. We spilled hot things all the time, it was a hazard.

I never bought crocks. The soles seemed too squishy for me. I needed more sturdy soles. I settled on Calzuro clogs. Loved them! Retired now 3 years.
Happy Nurses week everyone!

As a student nurse we were told by our clinical instructors why wearing a full cover white shoes was important when going to duty/shifts and its because of spill accidents or any accidents that may fall to our feet.

The thing is they make professional crocs that don’t have the holes. The advance of crocs is they can be easily washed and don’t absorb much so if you end up with mystery fluids it’s much easier to deal with than fabric shoes

I work at a bakery, and usually I have to do some heavy lifting and could possibly drop some big things on my feet. So i got some steel toe, non slip boots. I absolutely love them and wear them year round! :D

Thanks for your work as a nurse! If I was a nurse, I'd wear hip waiters - no body fluid splash zone. 😄

I worked with a male nurse who always wore crocks. We worked in the trauma ICU. We had a guy who had been shot. He was bleeding from everywhere. The blood was coming out faster than it was going in. The blood was dripping off the bed. The nurses' feet were soaked in blood.

For a 12HR shift at the hospital, HOKAS.

5+ years on the floor and combat boots are my go-to. 12 to 16 hours on my feet, the ankle support is a lifesaver. And they're a lot more comfortable than anything else I've tried.

Me and my ER nurse both had pokemon crocs when I was sent in, we traded a few charms!

Crocs now makes a nursing clog! I love mine and am about to buy a second pair

[mateothewizard]

My health science teacher literally taught us that we are to wear close toed shoes so we dont get shit like body fluids on our feet dawg

[quiltedquickerpicker]

there's a work crocs line that won't have the holes as well... I use it it only has 2 tiny holes on the side for ventilation.

I wear hiking boots. I work in hospitals but do a lot of standing rather than walking. The support of the hiking boots helps with that. Normal shoes or shoes made for walking just left me with very painful feet. Those floors are hard lol

I wear Brooks Beasts, now that I’m old. I used to wear crocs, until I worked in a hospital where I’d have to run at full speed to ER in obstetric emergencies from birthing suite. Tripped a couple of time. I still wear crocs as theatre shoes though ( they stay there!)😊

Get the crocs that have no holes in them!!! You can wear them to work with all the same comfort and if something spills it doesn’t get in your shoe!!❤

Those socks remind me of the mental hospital socks I have :3 (I got to silly)
