Different Styles Of Jewelry For Nurses

By Gloria Mason


There are different types of jewelry for nurses that one can find online. Some are vintage pieces that date back to the 1950's and 1960's. Others are classic pieces that represent the signs and symbols of the medical field. However, if one is a bit adventurous, there are modern pieces that are very unique and reflect the current styles that are common today.

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.

Today, one can still find the Caduceus used in pieces related to nursing, but most times it is done in a more understated manner. An example of this could be a flat pin that is made up of both the Caduceus and letters in the front. The letters could be RN, LPN, or BSN and they stand for Registered Nurse, Licensed Practical Nurse, and Bachelor of Science Nursing respectively.

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.

Being in the medical field does not mean that a person is lacking in originality. A person might have a unique personality that makes them stand out from everyone else, and there are pieces that can be purchase for nurses who are not afraid of being unique. Besides pins and bracelets, one can find necklaces that have a unique look to them.

These pieces can have sayings or symbols that are reflective of the pop culture in today's society but with a twist. This twist usually involves including the word nurse so that people will know what the piece represents. Jewelry can also be custom made to suit the person's preferences and personality.

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.
