Personalized Custom ER Nurse Shirt with Her Childhood Photo and RN Name – Vintage Photo Tee

This personalized custom ER nurse shirt is a throwback photo tee for the nurse who was bandaging teddy bears long before nursing school. Her childhood picture, toned black and white, sits between ER NURSE on top and her name plus RN on the bottom, both lines printed in antique gold.

Upload her hallway photo

Make her ER nurse shirt in four steps

1. Choose the garment and size: tee, long sleeve, crewneck sweatshirt or hoodie.
2. Pick the shirt color. The gold lettering stays the same on every one.
3. Upload her kid photo and type the name line with her credential, the way you want it printed. Your picture takes the place of our sample girl.
4. Place the order. Completed example: a costume photo from age four and the name line MARIA RN.

Why the hallway photo makes this ER nurse gift

• Nurses Week gifts pile up as tumblers, badge reels and pens
• Generic nurse shirts never say where her calling started
• Grad gifts for new RNs tend to be practical and forgettable

Most ER nurses can point to the moment as a kid when they first started taking care of people. Her childhood photo sits under ER NURSE with her name and RN below in antique gold, so the kid with the toy wheelchair meets the nurse running the trauma bay.

Short credentials like BSN fit too. For kid photos, head-and-shoulders or waist-up shots in everyday clothes or a costume crop cleanly. Please leave out swim, bath and leotard pictures.

Why the hallway photo works

The sample photo catches a very small nurse-in-training: white dress, paper cap, and a stuffed bear riding in a toy wheelchair she’s wheeling along the hall, eyes fixed on her patient.

ER NURSE arches above her in antique gold, and SARAH RN prints underneath in the same gold. A happy everyday picture works fine if there’s no costume shot in the album, though dress-up photos tend to get the biggest reaction in the break room.

Who gives it, and when

Often it’s her parents, with nursing school graduation or the pinning ceremony coming up, holding the old picture of her playing hospital in the hallway. Others are charge nurses who are done handing out tumblers for Nurses Week.

• Graduation
• Birthday

Which ER nurse sweatshirt or tee size should I order?

The tee is a Comfort Colors 1717, garment-dyed in 6.1 oz ring-spun cotton, in S through 4XL. The 1566 crewneck makes a cozy ER nurse sweatshirt in 80/20 fleece from S to 3XL.

The 1567 hoodie is preshrunk 80/20 fleece with a jersey-lined hood and pouch pocket, S to 2XL. The tee and fleece run relaxed and unisex: take her usual size, or size up one or two on fleece for an oversized fit.

Check measurements on the OutfitBlend size guide. Coming off a cold night shift? She can pick the Comfort Colors 6014 long sleeve, S to 3XL.
