Name Tags

Published

Specializes in MICU for 4 years, now PICU for 3 years!.

I just started a new job, and most of the nurses I work with have these super cute personalized name tags... They have their first name and RN or LPN in big cutsey font, with a picture of a nurse doing something "nursey" (charting, standing by a pt, etc...)

Anyone have one of these or something similar and know where I can get one?? I asked someone and they told me where they were from (someone ordered them off a website) and I can't for the life of me remember... I'm now off for 5 days and want to try and get one because they are so cute!

Thanks for any help! :)

Never seen that on the name tag but I have on the badge holders.. Our name tags are hospital issued and nothing cute about it. It states my name, picture,dept, and big red letters RN and that's all.

Can't help you and have never seen such a nametag. But it is refreshing to see a new grad wondering where to find a super cute name tag as opposed to where to find a job!

Specializes in ER.

Anytime I've seen those around someone in the hospital has made them. Ask around and you'll find they all came from the same crafter, and she'll probably make you one too.

Thanks for the post, but I'm not a new grad... be a nurse for over 4 years, just beginning a new job! :)

Let's be cute! OMG, i'd die fer somtin cute. Yeah, Nurses are a professional group of people. Prolly, IDK, ur patients would prefer that u no sumtin bout where they cumin from. Ya no, like disease process an symptoms.

****, mama, i wants me some cute nurses. No, like fer real, I'd stay here 24/7 long as I gots me a cute nurse. lol.

O.k. sorry. You want to fit into the culture of your new job. Being part of the team is important and the symbols are necessary to belong. Your post just accidentally struck a nerve. The best answer is to ask them where they got theirs. Sometimes those symbols are more important for the source than the product.

You know, I didn't ask to be harassed by my fellow "professional" nurses... Your post struck a nerve too...

I'm in the PICU where cute is encouraged... If you would have read my post, I did ask my co-workers where they bought them from and forgotten, so I thought I'd come to a forum where I've gotten lots of help and support over my career for some help on somehow to fit into the culture of my new unit.

No "super cute" badges where I work. Just a mug shot with your name and title on it.
