Different Kinds Of Jewelry For Nurses

By Gloria Mason


There are many people who have friends or relatives that are nurses and might need to buy a gift for them. There are different kinds of jewelry for nurses that one can find online to suit a variety of tastes. This article will look at three categories of jewelry which include vintage, classic, and modern.

Vintage pieces related to nursing have a particular style and craftsmanship that one will not find today. One is more likely to find them in vintage stores if they specialize in this type of accessory. They can also find them online where a person might decide to sell them to the highest bidder. One of the most common symbols found in making these pieces is the Caduceus.

There are other symbols which include nurse angels, and pins that have a number of different tools used in the medical profession. These might include things such as a stethoscope, mortar and pestle, and a blood pressure meter just to name a few. Nurse's caps on charm bracelets were also popular back in the days when they were worn often. Now that the uniforms have changed, so have the style of jewelry.

If one is looking for modern yet classic pieces, there are a number of places online that sell them at reasonable prices. One can find letters related to the nursing profession on the Caduceus which may be sold in the form of a pin. Others might just have the letters such as RN as a pin on its own. There is also the option of a circular pin that says Registered Nurse in full spelling on the outer part of the pin with the Caduceus on a cross in the center.

One should also keep in mind that there are different types of nurses. Some might be RN, BSN, or LPN just to name a few. The meaning of RN has been mentioned earlier in this article. BSN and LPN refer to Bachelor of Science Nursing and Licensed Practical Nurse respectively. If one wants to be very specific when buying a gift for a nurse they should take this into consideration.

One should also consider the personality of the nurse they are getting an accessory for. Even though someone might be working in the medical field, they might have a unique personality that makes them stand out. In this case, one can look for jewelry that is modern but very unique. There are necklaces that one can find online that have interesting quotes and sayings.

Much of what is seen in the symbolism of these unique pieces includes the word nurse, but might also have sayings and phrases that come from completely unrelated sources. These sayings might mention how wonderful nurses are to others. They might also rephrase various sayings in pop culture and apply it to nurses in a way that is funny.

No matter what kind of jewelry for nurses one decides to purchase, they all help to show appreciation for those in this profession. This is the main reason why these types of accessories were created in the first place. It helps to foster a sense of pride in the person who has chosen to enter this line of work to help others.
