This one is for every nurse pulling a shift over the holidays and still managing to smile about it. Honestly its a design that just lands right. The word Nurse in thick flowing cursive, bold and readable from a few feet away. Red. Black. Done.
On the left the stethoscope tube loops into a heart shape before running along the top of the letters. On the right it stretches out to the chest piece and earbuds in grey, recognisable even at smaller sizes. Dotted through the lettering are 3 or 4 individual christmas light bulbs in green, blue, red and yellow, just like someone draped a string of lights over the word. Its not over the top and it doesnt look like a craft fair table. Just enough festive.
7 colour stops total, stitch count from 3,577 at the smallest size up to 7,744 at 2.82 inches wide. Use a tear-away stabiliser on woven scrub fabric and a cutaway on the stretchy knit versions. Runs tall not wide, so it suits badge reel covers, zipper pouches and scrub top pockets really well. I get messages about this one every December from people buying it as a gift. Stitch it on a canvas pouch for a nurse you know and she wont stop using it. Skip the heavy tear-away on the smaller badge reel size, a light stabiliser is enough.

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.
