Nurse Pride

[UM Review RN]

If you could make a T-shirt designed to educate the public about what it takes to be a nurse, what would yours say?

[UM Review RN, ASN, RN]

I personally think we should vote on best slogans and have a tshirt made! Maybe the money could go to some worthy cause like the American Heart Association or something after expenses.

I think our nursing profession is a very worthy cause. We need to stop feeling guilty if we promote a positive, intelligent, image worthy of respect, or if we actually make a decent wage, or if we go home on time, get our breaks, and work in a well-staffed unit. The AMA has greatly improved the image of doctors, yet nurses don't have a good equivalent, at least media-wise.

Maybe it's time for a change.

Nurses: Adept at wiping your butt and saving it too...

The problem with that is that the LPN course is a certificate course, so you would be saying that we (LPN"S) are not "real" Nurses. which I would have to disagree with. I like the NCLEX idea better.

Me, too. The original suggestion (about nurses having college degrees) also excludes the many wonderful diploma graduates. Most of us know better.

cafepress.com has hilarious nursing related tshirts.

My favorite one is this in big bold print:

MY NEUROSURGEON IS A NURSE PRACTITIONER!
