T-shirts JUST for nurses

You can never have enough T-shirts. They’re great, no-fuss, easy-care, casual wardrobe items that go with jeans, shorts and sweatpants, and can even be dressed up a little with sweaters and jackets. Here are some choice nurse T-shirts that you might want to add to your wardrobe. They’ll make you—and those around you—smile. (Note: If you click on the image of each T-shirt, you’ll see the different styles and colors it comes in.)

1. Nurses make it better

Who could quibble with this? It simply tells it like it is. And think how reassuring it’ll be for your family and friends when you wear this T-shirt. “Oh, isn’t it nice to know there’s a nurse nearby, in case I cut my finger or stub my toe?”

Maybe you shouldn’t wear this one around small children. A needle! But at home, if you need to remind someone who the boss is…perfect.

Awww! This is definitely a sympathy-getter. And sure, for many nurses this statement is likely true to a certain extent. This is a fun T-shirt that’s ideal for wearing around the house when you’re cooking or cleaning, or when you’re grocery shopping or carting the kids to lessons…doing things that really make you feel like you don’t have a life. But seriously, don’t live in this T-shirt, because it just might become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Superman, Spider-Man, Wonder Woman, step aside! Nursing is real heroism. Put this T-shirt on after a trying shift and it’ll give you a power boost as it constantly reminds you that you are a true superhero.

5. Doctors save lives, nurses save doctors

Yes, doctors would be lost without nurses. Nurses save doctors from getting yelled at by angry patients; the patients yell at the nurses instead. Nurses save doctors if they write incorrect orders on charts. Nurses save doctors time and energy by having charts, records and instruments ready, and by providing care, education and a comforting ear to patients. Shall we go on?

Next: I need 50cc of coffee STAT! –>

Coffee lovers, this is definitely the perfect T-shirt to throw on when you get out of bed. It speaks to the caffeine addict in many a nurse.

    I seen a nsg shirt on time that said, “Keepin them alive till 7:45″ Kind of a warped sense of humor, but I still smiled and chuckled when I read it.
