Unisex with a relaxed cut, true to size, S to 4XL. Garment-dyed heavyweight tee.

An algorithm is not a nurse. The night nurse in the tee caught the patient about to crash from the look on his face, a full ten minutes before the numbers moved, and no monitoring software the hospital bought that quarter would have. This tee is for that nurse, and for the ten minutes.

Wear it to the nurses' union rally, the staffing ratio hearing, the hospital board meeting, the nursing school pinning, and the family dinner where a relative says the hospital has the best technology. It is a strong gift for a nurse, a nursing student, a union steward, and the friend who was the patient.

The tee is a Comfort Colors 1717, garment-dyed in 6.1 oz ring-spun cotton, soft and evenly colored, with a heavier hand than a novelty tee and three lines that read across a hospital lobby. Direct-to-garment. It bonds with the cotton.

Unisex, relaxed, true to size. S through 4XL. Colors: Black, White, Bay, Blossom. Also Chambray, Graphite, Ivory, Banana. It is the staffing entry on our anti-AI movement page.

Designed and printed to order in the USA. Machine wash cold, inside out, with like colors. Tumble dry low. Do not bleach or iron the design.

Common questions

Is this shirt against hospital software? It is against cutting nurses to pay for it. The nurse wearing it charts on a laptop all night.

Would a nurses' union order these? Locals do, for the ratio hearing. Every shirt is printed to order. Any mix of sizes, one order.

Which color do nurses pick? Black and Bay. White for the rally.

How does the 1717 fit? True to size, relaxed body. Order your usual.

Wear it to: the all-hands where they announce the new tool, the studio, the classroom, the town meeting about the data center.

Printing and care

Printed to order in the USA, direct to garment: water-based ink goes into the fabric rather than sitting on top, so the print stays soft and does not crack or peel.

Machine wash cold, inside out. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not iron the print. More on the fabric and care page.
