Swore you were finished with school forever? So did every RN who's ever gone back for their BSN. 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 working nurse who put the textbooks away, built a career, and then decided to level up anyway — because ambition doesn't retire just because diplomas do.
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 RN-to-BSN journey.
Who It's For
This design speaks directly to working RNs pursuing their BSN, nurses returning to school after years in the field, and anyone balancing a full-time nursing career with coursework, clinicals, and exams. It's a deeply relatable gift for a coworker starting an RN-to-BSN program, a graduation or pinning ceremony present, or a self-purchase to survive the semester with a sense of humor intact.
