Name the right job
Trade and profession shirts are specific on purpose. Someone who says they are a nurse will not accept a near-miss title, and the closely related jobs each have their own version — that precision is the whole point of the joke.
The 3 designs here all name the same job, so pick on how loud the artwork is. Anything worn to work should read cleanly at a glance rather than crowd the chest with a second punchline.
Who it is for
Best for someone a few years into the work — long enough that the job has its own vocabulary and its own complaints. For a new starter it can read as presumptuous, and for someone who has left the trade it reads as nostalgia rather than a joke.
Nursing is not one job
The single word "nurse" covers wards that have almost nothing in common. An ICU nurse, a theatre nurse and a community nurse do different work, keep different hours and are tired in different ways.
If you know the unit, buy the shirt that names it — there are pages here for several. The general one is the honest choice only when you genuinely do not know, and it reads that way.
The other constant is the shoes. Every nurse has strong views on footwear and has spent real money proving it.
Sizing and ordering
- Unisex tees run true to size — size up one for a relaxed fit.
- Allow two to three weeks. Each shirt is printed after you order, so production time comes before shipping time.
- Checkout happens on the print partner's site — Senprints handles printing, payment and delivery.
If it is not quite the right job
The wording only works when it names the exact job, so it is worth checking before you buy. Optician, Pharmacist and Pharmacy each have their own page with their own designs, and there are more below.
