Does anyone still wear their school pin? Or is the pin just a throw back to an earlier age?
Mine was stolen back in the late 70s.
School is no longer, merged into the University.
I saw some students of theirs at the VA last week giving flu shots. Their uniform is bright RED scrubs! Wow, I wish we'd had that option.
Oh, one option for replacement would be check the pawn shops around the school. There are plenty of rings, pins etc in most. My daughter got an Art Carved solid gold class ring there for about $60. It retailed for around 350 at the time.
Does RN magazine still show pics of school pins? I remember years ago looking at all of them and was very impressed with the designs.
I wish I had my grandmother's nursing school pin. It was lost many years ago. I do have her nursing licenses though.
I used to wear my pin, but now I get to wear street clothes to my job, so I don't want to lose it in the wash.
grimmy, RN

i wear mine on my name badge everyday. since its not on my clothes there's little chance that it'll wind up in the laundry, and besides, on my badge, many more people tend to see it. it is lovely: gold and purple, my school colors.
