Trade and profession shirts are specific on purpose. Someone who says they are a plastic surgery 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.
One design for this job so far. Check the wording matches the title they actually use before buying.
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.
The assumption is cosmetic work. A large share of plastic surgery is reconstruction after trauma, cancer or burns, and nurses in it correct this often.
Wound care and grafting knowledge are the specialist skills, not aesthetics.

The wording only works when it names the exact job, so it is worth checking before you buy. Plumber, Portrait Photographer and Postal Worker each have their own page with their own designs, and there are more below.
