Uniform badges: which sleeve?

Published

Does your school require the school badge to be sewn to a specific sleeve of your clinical uniform? Is there a standard side to which badges are sewn?

I had just sat down to put mine on and realized I had no idea!

Thanks for your help.

See if your school has a webpage that shows nursing students and take a look there. Just make sure (from other things in the picture) that the picture wasn't reversed.

Good luck with your sewing.

I'm a student nurse and we are to wear them on the Left. Forego sewing them on, buy some of that fast stictch glue and sglue them on, mine have withstood many washings. When and if they start loosening, i'll be squirting more of it around the edges, no way would i sew those things on. LOL ( some fellow students actually attached them with velcro strips, notrecommended)

Thank you for the input!

I read in my student handbook that the badges should go on the left sleeve, one inch below the shoulder seam.
