Re: Are You Man Enough to Be a Nurse?

I like that version even better, the guys seem a little more comfortable... ...any idea where that came from and if there is a place to buy it? Thanks....

I actually scanned that one ... the original I have is 8.5 x 11 and it fits perfectly in a plastic document holder I bought @ Walmart with magnets on the back, so it hangs right on my fridge. I got it at the UCF nursing school in Orlando when I went to visit them about their program (which I have since decided was not for me). If I am in the area again prob in 2 weeks, I will drop by and see if they have any more. Here's a bigger version attached.

KWIM? Class pride and school pride and all that.

So, the student body was asked to come up with themes - the winning theme would be sent to the printers and they'd put it on the clothes.

Anyway, here's one suggestion that was sent in:


The idea caused a massive furore - with many students (and some faculty) - both male and female - chiming in that they found the "suggestive ideas" highly inappropriate. Some students were deeply offended by the suggestion - while others were of the opinion that the clothes were optional and there was no compulsion on anyone to buy them. Besides, some students thought it was funny and saw nothing wrong in "laughing at ourselves".

Ultimately, the student body organisation dropped the idea to sell the shirts.

well; I would have bought that T-shirt!! I think sometimes we need to learn to laugh at ourselves.. we can be very serious.... but then I am a fencer and have a t-shirt which says 'it takes more than 56 inches to impress me' with a picture of a fencer under the writing. its a fencing joke... an epee is 56 inches long. guess it offends some people but fencers love it!! (and i bought it in the states on my last visit)
