T-shirt slogan for Intensive Care

Published

Specializes in Critical Care.

Hi everyone!

Does anyone have any creative ideas for a T-shirt slogan for intensive/critical care nurses. My unit is a mixed medical/surgical ICU at a fairly conservative hospital. I really wanted to design a shirt that says, "ICU nurses, here to save your a$$, not kiss it" BUT I don't think that is going to go over well.

For example, our cardiac unit recently used: "Cardiac Unit: Never misses a beat" (I would have said, "We got the beat" but I am a big dork).

Any ideas for ICU?

Thanks!

Tazzi,

I love that one. I used to work with a doc who, when calling the ICU, would always hear them pick up, "ICU this is ____." His response would invariably be, "ICU too." Somehow it was funny every time.

Call me old fashioned, but what happened to nurses wearing neat, clean cut scrubs? Where I work at, the T-shirt phenomenon has taken hold, but I think as "professionals" we should look professional in scrubs, not wearing T-shirts with logos. When was the last time you saw a doctor or lawyer or engineer or teacher or any sort of profession with respect wearing a t-shirt? I am not saying we have to go back to wearing all whites or skirts or even a hat, but on a serious note, what is with the t-shirts?
