As nurses, you spend the majority of your workday on your feet. Because of this, compression socks have become a staple for nurses. Compression socks have many benefits, including improving blood flow and reducing swelling. Another benefit is they help with reducing spider and varicose veins. We recently conducted a poll on our Facebook group asking our members what their favorite brands of compression stockings are. Below you will find the results as well as some information and links to learn more about each. As you will see, the compression socks today are not your grandmother’s compression socks. They are much more fashion-forward and comfortable than ever before.
