Three rows of lettering that really contrast each other. 'nurse' across the top in chunky black brush strokes, lowercase, kinda graffiti-heavy. Little stars are scattered around it and theres a nurse cap with a red cross tucked above the first letter. Then 'call the' swings through the middle in red cursive script, totally different weight to the words above and below it. And 'shots' lands at the bottom in the same thick brush black as the top, wide and bold. Below all that, a detailed red syringe sits horizontally, barrel markings and plunger and everything, rendered in fine line satin stitching.
Black and red, 2 colours. The design spans 3 inches at the small end up to 8 inches at the largest, so youll get a small chest pocket piece right up to a big back panel depending on what you need. I digitised this in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio and the density sits at 419, which is moderate and means it runs clean on most woven fabrics. The syringe element at the bottom has really fine line work, so use a stabiliser with good tear-resistance for that section, especially at 3 inch. Skip stretchy jersey knit fabrics unless youre hooping with a cutaway stabiliser underneath.
One customer ordered five of these last Christmas on zip pouches for the nursing staff in her ward, said they loved it. Stitch it on scrub tops, tote bags, aprons, canvas pouches, staff lanyards. Use a light or white fabric so the red script reads clearly. Try it on dark navy or black with inverted thread colours if you want something that looks completely different.
Works for Nurses Week gifts, nursing graduation events, staff appreciation bundles, ICU or ER team gift sets, personalised aprons for nurses who run the kitchen the same way they run the ward. Ping me if you run into any issues with the download and Ill sort it out.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
