What type of ID holder do you have? Are yours personalized?
For me, mines is a retractable baby blue one, with a cute stethoscope on it. I'm hoping I get a personalized one with my name on it for my birthday which is in a month! (Woo) Or one that says "Future RN" haha
What about you?

Does your school permit this? Employers normally have a standard ID badge holder that everyone must use. These rules tend to be pretty rigid because it affects the public perception of the organization. If you want to personalize, it may be better to go for a unique tote bag or stethoscope color.
Yeah, it is fine :) I've been using it for three years, haha :)

I was thinking the same thing. In my student days it was disallowed, and students in my facility use standard, approved stuff,nothing "original"
If the program allows it, I say do whatever you like (within reason, LOL!).

We weren't allowed one in school but my hospital doesn't care. So mine says "I'm a nurse what's your super power"
One of my coworkers has one with "I" and then a picture of a mustache, then a question, "I mustache you a question" I think it's cute too!
Most of us on my unit have something.
