Bold, educational, and beautifully designed, this tee features a vintage-inspired icon grid outlining the nine core foundations of nursing: Compassion, Critical Thinking, Assessment, Communication, Advocacy, Education, Resilience, Precision, and Leadership. Anchored by the powerful closing statement "Science. Skill. Service." and a classic caduceus emblem, this design reads like a retro poster celebrating everything the nursing profession stands for.
Product Details
Printed on the Bella Canvas 3001, this shirt delivers a soft, breathable, retail-quality fit built for long shifts, classroom days, and casual wear alike. Made from 100% airlume combed cotton (heather colors are cotton/poly blends), it's pre-shrunk and durable enough to hold its shape and softness through frequent washing. The classic unisex cut flatters a variety of body types, whether worn fitted or oversized, making it a meaningful, educational statement piece for any nurse's wardrobe.
Who It's For
This design is perfect for nursing students, nurse educators, RNs, LPNs, and nurse practitioners who take pride in the core values that define their profession.

It makes a meaningful gift for nursing school graduation, pinning ceremonies, White Coat ceremonies, or as an inspiring reminder for any nurse educator's classroom or office.
