Not The Doctor. Know More Than Him. — Sweatshirt

Not the doctor. Know more than him. Possibly paid more than him.

(The pay thing, eventually, in some markets, with overtime. The knowledge thing: always.) The hoodie for the nurse who has corrected three residents this week alone. The sweatshirt for the post-shift drive home, when you're done pretending you don't know better. The clinical instinct that gets the chart credit it deserves only when no one is watching.

What you're getting

• Material. Heavyweight cotton/poly blend. Brushed inside. Built for the AC-cranked nurses' station that runs at 64°F and the ICU pod that runs at 58°F.
• Fit. Unisex true-to-size. Size up for "leave me alone, I'm walking to my car post-shift" hoodie energy.
• Print. DTG, reinforced placement. The joke holds shift after shift, wash after wash, until you eventually leave bedside and use this for grocery runs.
• Care. Cold wash, tumble dry low. Lasts longer than your last preceptorship, your last manager, and your last attempt at having a "work-life balance."

Send it to

For the charge nurse training the next round of interns. For the preceptor explaining vasopressors to a resident. For yourself, on a Tuesday, in the parking lot, having done the work.

Pairs with

Pairs with the matching tee underneath, for the moment the manager turns the heat back on. And the 20oz tumbler for the post-shift drive home.

Throw it on. Drive home. Know more.

For nurses who have run a code, charted "patient resting comfortably" while the patient was, in fact, screaming, and considered — fleetingly, in a parking lot, post-shift — leaving and never coming back. Not the doctor. Know more than him. Possibly paid more than him. Built by nurses, tested on night shift.
