Members are discussing the professional embroidery options for lab coats worn by advanced practice nurses, specifically focusing on font, color, and content. Some members share their personal experiences with lab coats, while others offer suggestions for embroidery formats. Additionally, there is a conversation about the practicality of fitting an iPad in a lab coat and potential solutions for hands-free carrying.
Please post your embroidery on your lab coats as a advanced practice nurse. I want ideas of what would be professional for me, a soon to grad FNP. I'm getting a new lab coat because my current one has my school logo and screen print and also, I want to get the Landau men's lab coat that fits the ipad 2 . I know the embroidery may depend on where you work, but I still want to see what everyone has. thanks!
1. What's professional?
2. What's overboad?
3. Script font and color? Black ideal?
4. You can take it to a tailor later to change it right?
I did search around allnurses and found some forums but did not really get a straight answer and only a few examples were found.
I'm seriously having a hard time picturing a lab coat that will fit an iPad AND still look professional. The best I can come up with visually is a big ole baggy man lab coat that is going to look even more hideous dragged down by an iPad. Please tell me that ain't so! Link ?
I agree with you on the initials:

My patients do not care about all the rest and they have no idea what it means !
If you have basic sewing skills you can easily make an ipad holster with belt fasteners. I put a 12 ga wire in the opening seam so it always stays open and its easy to put back and retrieve.
