Nurses’ Stations – Product Description

Nurses often work 12-hour shifts three or four days a week. With multiple shifts working so many hours, the nurses’ station needs to be well-organized, ergonomically correct and able to withstand around-the-clock use and abuse.

Aptus Flex stands up to the toughest environments and won’t let you down.

Why is choosing a high-quality, flexible, ergonomically correct and durable nurses’ station so important? Consider the following facts:

  • Furniture is truly “working capital” that must adapt to your changing needs. In other words, it needs to grow
    as you grow.
  • An ergonomically correct nurses’ station is critical for nurses, who typically work 12-hour shifts and have the most contact with patients and visitors.
  • Health-related service providers are under more pressure than ever before to modernize and drive down costs through increased efficiency. The right nurses station will keep staff organized and able to respond quickly to patients and staff members.
  • A well-built, durable nurses’ station builds confidence and is important to fostering a culture of excellence. Worn, gouged and unfinished surfaces erode the perception of service quality among staff and visitors.
  • Chips, cracks, unfinished surfaces and sharp edges can pose a health hazard. For example, studies have found that ordinary furniture can become breeding grounds for staph bacteria.


Demountable, Modular, Configurable

Aptus Flex Nurses’ Stations are designed to meet your needs today and tomorrow. Unlike Aptus Flex, medical cabinetry is usually permanently fixed in place, locking up your potential grow at minimal cost. Aptus Flex’s modular, demountable design lets you reconfigure workspaces without a major investment of time or money. When your business grows, your modular, configurable furniture will let you add staff, shift personnel or even change a room’s purpose at a fraction of the cost you would otherwise incur.

Think of your kitchen for a moment. If you tripled your household, would it be able reconfigure it? Probably not without a major renovation. Aptus Flex lets you reposition or add components without requiring a major redesign or, potentially, the cost and headache of moving to a new facility. If you do need to move, Aptus Flex demountable furniture goes with you. No more leaving your furniture for your landlord’s benefit. And its modularity will give you a greater range of options for a new facility to further boost profit.

And because it’s demountable, your nurses’ stations are categorized as office furniture, which means they depreciate according to a 7-year schedule. See more information on the tax advantages built into Aptus Flex modular furniture.

Flexible, Comfortable & Efficient

The 2 million nurses in the United States work exceptionally long hours compared to other professions. Shifts of 12 hours are common, so a comfortable, intelligently designed workspace is crucial. By contact, a poorly designed nurses’ station will have a dramatic impact on staff morale, efficiency and will ultimately degrade quality of service. Aptus Flex avoids all these through superior architecture. Our nurses station provide:

  • Paper and x-ray film sorters for many sizes
  • Retracting printer shelves, keeping printing off work surface (and increasing work/organizational space)
  • Articulating keyboard trays mounted below the work surface (ergonomically designed to prevent carpal tunnel syndrome)
  • Integral monitor arms
  • Below-surface CPU storage
  • Internal power and data management raceway
  • Recessed task lighting
  • Collaborative work areas
  • Ample binder storage
  • Standing work areas, useful for quick record keeping
  • Rounded edges (180 degrees, post-formed), eliminating sharp corners, reducing accidental injuries among staff members, as well as children and the elderly. 


Tough, Durable, and Environmentally Safe


All components are built to resist chipping, gouging and cracking, and with a minimum of seams. These areas are prime real estate for bacterial growth because they collect food particles, retain moisture and are usually the areas missed during cleaning. Researchers have documented the explosive growth of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in community settings, including office furniture, and issued guidelines to reduce this threat.

Aptus Flex is also at the forefront of Green Building initiative, as . All products are fully wrapped in high-pressure, certified laminate (no melamine). Unlike most furniture, there is no exposed board anywhere on Aptus Flex products. 


The advantages of fully wrapped boards are clear:

  • Prevents moisture intrusion, which can cause warping as well as bacterial growth
  • Reduces chipping and wearing, which can become a biohazard
  • Prevents significant formaldehyde offgassing
  • Protects your furniture’s appearance, avoiding a confidence-sapping, run-down office environment
  • Furthermore, Aptus Flex furniture is built without recessed finger pulls or handles, making them easy to clean.
