Swore your BSN was the last diploma you'd ever frame? So did every nurse who's ever gone back for their NP. This design features an illustrated nurse heading back to the classroom, paired with the honest, relatable phrase "I Said I Was Done, But Here I Am." It's a perfect tribute to the BSN-prepared nurse who built a career at the bedside, thought their schooling days were behind them, and then decided to chase advanced practice anyway — because the drive to do more for patients doesn't stop at one degree.
Product Details
Printed on the Bella Canvas 3001, this shirt delivers a soft, breathable, retail-quality fit built for long clinical shifts, lecture halls, and late-night study sessions 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 comfortable companion through every stage of the BSN-to-NP journey.
Who It's For
This design speaks directly to working BSN nurses pursuing their NP, future family, psychiatric, acute care, or pediatric nurse practitioners, and anyone balancing a full-time nursing career with grueling coursework, clinicals, and exams on the road to advanced practice. It's a deeply relatable gift for a coworker starting an NP program, a white coat ceremony or graduation present, or a self-purchase to survive the semester with a sense of humor intact.
