Why Shirts Make Great Gifts for Nurses
Are you still unsure about gifting a shirt? Let us tell you why nurse-themed shirts are so amazing:
- We wear shirts all the time! Family reunions, nights at the bar with friends, and when we’re at home watching a movie.
- We also use shirts to show who we are and what matters to us. We’ll often choose a design because it has a phrase or a picture of something we care about on it.
Now imagine giving your caregiver friend a shirt with something meaningful, funny, and specific to their profession that you thought of yourself. We bet you they'll never take it off.
As we mentioned, you can easily create a fun shirt that shows your love for your cherished nurse friends. Let’s go over some of those easy and witty ideas for creating unique nurse shirts.
1 - A Shirt With a Nurse Joke or a Funny Phrase
Shirts with nurse jokes will be a hit because humor is a great way to encourage our loved ones. Sometimes, all we need is a laugh to change our perspective on things and keep going forward.
Also, fun is a fantastic conversation starter. Picture your caregiver friend at a party, wearing the witty nurse shirt you gave them, and someone starting a conversation because of it.
As serious as they may seem while on duty, caregivers are funny folks. Here are some examples of funny nursing phrases:
- "Nursing is not a career; it's a post-apocalyptic survival skill"
- "I'm a nurse because "miracle worker" isn't an official title"
- "No, RN (Registered Nurse) does not stand for 'Refreshments and Narcotics'"

Do you know what’s most amusing about nurse jokes? Sometimes we don't even get them. But that's ok; your beloved caregiver will look at the t-shirt you gave them and laugh with their colleagues.
Here’s an example (don't say we didn't warn you):
–What's the difference between an oral and a rectal thermometer?
–The taste.
No wonder they say laughter is the best medicine.
At Jupmode, we’d love to laugh with you as we print your favorite nursing joke on a quality custom shirt.
2 - A Shirt With a Famous Nursing Quote With a Twist
A shirt featuring a famous nursing quote with a playful twist added to it is the perfect mix of inspiration and wit. It will inspire your caregiver friend in stressful moments and make them laugh at the same time.
The following quotes from celebrated nurses have encouraged caregivers for decades, but rather than leave the quote as-is, let’s add a witty afterthought to it:
-
"Nurses dispense comfort, compassion, and caring without even a prescription." - Val Saintsbury
… But they don’t dispense pills every time a patient asks.
-
"Caring is the essence of nursing." - Jean Watson
…Not caring is the essence of a cat.
-
"Nursing is one of the fine arts: I had almost said 'the finest of fine arts.'" - Florence Nightingale
…And the nurse you see is the finest work of art.

3 - A Shirt With Something Personal and Witty
Creating a shirt that includes something personal and witty is a great way to show how much you know your beloved caregiver friend. You’re saying something from the heart that, at the same time, has a meaning unique to the two of you.
Create your own phrase or pun, or ask friends or relatives for inspiration. Here are some ideas:
- A private joke they share with their colleagues
- A witty quote they themselves have uttered
- A funny thank-you message from a patient
Of course, do a quick check to make sure you aren’t touching a sore spot, either for them or their friends.
Jupmode Tip: Write your idea down on a piece of paper, then take a picture and share it with us. Instead of generic text, we'll print your writing digitally and put it on a shirt for you.
