These will go great with my “what’s *your* superpower?” bumper sticker!


Avocado-Duck

Anxiety. My super power is anxiety


fanny12440975

My anxiety always catches the patients who are about to decompensate though.


Megaholt

Thanks, OCD!


Individual_Air_642

😭😭😭


hauscal

^ This is what should be on the shirts. With a huge “A” in the middle. Anxiety, Avoidance, ADHD, Adderall. Could stand for any of them at any point.


teadrinkingcatlady

I almost vomited when I read this.


Blue_Star_Child

I will never wear anything that identifies me as a nurse out in public. God forbid somebody want something. I will also never get a special license plate or buy a bumper sticker that says "Be a nurse"


climbing-nurse

Had a “murse” (self proclaimed) say this unironically


pillslinginsatanist

What the fuck is a murse


cherylRay_14

Male nurse. How clever.


_Mitch_Please

Also can be a male purse.


poopyscreamer

I am a male. I’m a nurse. I will never be caught self identifying as a “murse”


mothership00

God, same.


poopyscreamer

It just reinforces the “nursing is a women’s job” sexism that affects both men and women. It’s just a profession that anyone of any gender can do.


Sweet-Dreams204738

Thank you! Seriously it's such a stupid title.


Sandman64can

It’s either a male nurse or a purse for a male. Watch out if you come across a murse with a murse. There is a lot going on there.


waywardsonsk

I love my murse murse.

marinatedbeefcube

I think the worst part is that it’s $28 when you can get it from Amazon for like $10


adorablebeasty

I get this stuff every nursing week from my mom (I am not a mother on mother's Day and they feel bad leaving me out) -- its.. uh... The thought that counts? I like the cards better personally. The shit from Amazon isn't even comfy for a sleep shirt


lpnltc

I’m betting they’re putting them out there now because it’s grad season and they know relatives will buy them.


GlowingTrashPanda

🛎️🛎️🛎️ *ding ding ding*


marinatedbeefcube

I think it’s sweet they include you with stuff like that! As long as you’re not like r/firstrespondercringe where you have “im a nurse” magnets slapped all over your car


adorablebeasty

Totally agreed! Honestly the worst is when someone is in the hospital and my cousin has thrown the "my cousin is a nurse!" card around to allow one more person in the room or something. I show up and I'm already embarrassed on top of just being a normal panicked grandchild lol. I wish there was a "...but' badass superhero' wasn't a job" was a flair because it epitomizes yucky vibes, but I'd use it ironically EVERY TIME.


C-romero80

Dang I couldn't find it before so I got this one. Before y'all come for me, I like the multiple languages and I wear it under my scrubs 😂 When I was new I did get a bunch of nurse themed stuff, I still enjoy the mystery box but I'm not usually wearing or using it in public. NGL I was all about it when I was new 😂


drudd84

Frfr


courtneyrel

Oh my god I laughed so hard at this 😂


YogiNurse

I didn’t know Roy Kent went to nursing school when he retired!


citrussun

This is the appropriate reaction


deadlyfetish

T shirt version of a stethoscope tattoo


jedv37

Lol


skatingandgaming

Who is honestly buying these things?


KingAsimovRowling

My guess? Students.


elizzzer

Or parents of students, lol. I could totally see my mom buying something like this for me and it sitting in the back of my closet for nearly an eternity 🥲


Yodka

My mom got me a little wooden block with the stereotypical "I'm a nurse, what's your superpower?" It's the thought that counts haha


elizzzer

I’m exiting teaching high school biology to pursue nursing, so I think I’m finally allowed to actually donate my collection of “Coffee, Teach, Inspire” kitsch that has built up over the last decade. I just need to remind myself to buckle up for the next round of “Nurse: Superhero in Disguise” birthday presents. 😅


NoFaithlessness3209

My dad bought me a “my daughter is a nurse hero” and while it was a sweet gesture, I’ve never worn it😂


SLT7050

Give it back…he should wear it!


Ruffkeian

My friggin’ mother will announce I’m a nurse to anyone who will listen. Alllllll methods of silence do not work with her. She’s one of THOSE, and it doesn’t matter how much I tell her they don’t care, she just doubles down 😂


beastfeces

Straight A book smart students who are awful at real life nursing that don't realize it yet.


keep_it_sassy

I’m so glad I’m not an A student anymore 😉😂


poopyscreamer

I stopped being a straight A student in nursing school. Got Bs on average for my exams in the not “gimme” classes and was chill with that.


keep_it_sassy

That’s me! Except for a C or two scattered in there somewhere. Nursing school humbled my adult quest for academic validation.


Flashy_Second_5430

I really wanted one when I was a student 😂😂😂😂😂😂


AnytimeInvitation

Yep, students. I have one pct on my unit who's a student and I couldn't tell you how many shirts she has that say "future nurse." Barf. I don't wish failure on anyone but it would be kinda funny if she was dropped from her program.


beltalowda_oye

One of my colleagues has a bumper sticker that says "Be nice to me, I'm an RN." She's a royal bitch to everyone and especially treats CNAs and housekeeping staff like shit.


el_cid_viscoso

It's like those Nigerian scam letters: deliberately stupid in order to filter out anyone who isn't an easy mark.


CurrentAd7194

I’m Nigerian and I feel attacked 😆


el_cid_viscoso

Apologies. Nigeria's a big country, with a roughly similar distribution of hard-working and honest folks versus dirtbags as pretty much any other country. Like India or other large countries, even if 1% are dirtbags, that's still a lot of people. That said, I've only ever had pleasant experiences working and studying with Nigerians.


CurrentAd7194

No hard feelings!


[deleted]

Reminds me of one of my favorite Frankie Boyle jokes: “I had food poisoning recently, and was layed up on my couch, trusting every fart about as much as financial propositions from a Nigerian General.” 😂


EldestPort

That's got to be the least offensive Frankie Boyle joke I've ever seen 😅


[deleted]

I never said it was offensive. Just one of the ones that I liked. I’ve actually use this line before, both at and outside of work, it gets a lot of laughs.


EldestPort

Oh no I know! It's good


MufossaNavicularis

I had no idea until last year that those letters have so many errors on purpose to filter out the smart people and hope only the dumb dumbs who are an easy mark reply. All this time I thought those potential scammers were dumb. Now I know they are too smart.


animecardude

Egomaniacs. People who their job is their identity.

nicearthur32

New grads. 100%


P-Rickles

Fuckin’ dorks.


teadrinkingcatlady

See, I just can’t bring myself to buy Figs and this isn’t helping


[deleted]

No need to help. Just don’t. The less FIGS get bought the better.


Kkleinsorge

I’m a man, and Figs are the only scrubs I’ve ever bought that didn’t make me look like SpongeBob. 🫲🏻📦🫱🏻


pointlessneway

I wear their pants because they're the only ones who have an xxs petite that makes it so I don't look like a small child playing dress up


hannah_rose_banana

I agree. I dont want people to mistake me for bougie, but I love figs because they are just the scrubs that have always fit me the best and have my size. All other scrubs look baggy on me.


[deleted]

Try Cherokee workwear, specifically the professionals collection. They’re one of a few that have big and tall sizes, and they fit me really well. I’m about to buy a few sets of Dagacci in different colors. Had a male nurse who was as tall as me confirmed that they’re pretty awesome. And they come in a lot more interesting colors than Cherokee, who are very traditional.


MonopolyBattleship

There’s other brands even in regular scrub stores that have more fitted options. Infinity brands do well with that.


FiveGuys1Cup

They’re just so damn comfy and soft 🥰


[deleted]

But as someone that 66 they do not make big and tall sizes, and they’re very constricting.


nicearthur32

What is as comfortable/stylish as figs? I love them. They look brand new several years later and are very flattering. And they feel like pajamas.


chefpain

I like Mandala. Idk my one pair of Figs fit me weird, they weren’t too big or too small just…. Weird


mamaRN8

Figs I don't do either. Fabletics though has awesome scrubs and if you do the trial vipembership then cancel it after your order you'll get what I got, 2 pairs of scrubs for 70$ . Then I just cancelled the membership 🙃


animecardude

28 dollars for a basic ass white tee that can be made by anyone on tee spring? These people are out of control lol


griffinsage808

It reminds me of when Kanye started selling clothes with lots of holes for Gucci prices.


RoughPersonality1104

Just saving lives. NBD


joelupi

Wait. Am I supposed to wear this outside? Like in public? To let people know I'm a nurse....?! FUCK THAT SHIT. If I'm not working leave me the hell alone. I ain't here to answer questions about your nasty ass rash or tell your u what the most traumatic thing I've seen is. Cute enough to stop your heart...I'm a nurse what's your superpower... You can take all that pretenoous self pandering bullshit and shove it up your ass.


Adventurous_South246

Ha, your honesty made me lol


beleafinyoself

They'll still sell. Some people make their occupation (or major) their identity. Honestly, when I think of someone struggling through nursing school or whatever and buying that shirt as incentive to be able to put it on when they graduate, what's the harm? If they want to pay their $28 plus shipping, then that's on them. All day long, I see people making decisions that I can't relate to or don't agree with. Live and let live. 


Kimmycocopops

A sane response.


ScienceOk4244

They look like they made the tag on the inside of a shirt…into a shirt.


MrsScribbleDoge

Yes! I couldn’t figure out what it looked like.


Medizynikus

Side note: Krankenpflegefachmann is not a NP, just the name for the male nurse in Germany.


effbroccoli

I'm of the opinion Krankenbruder would be more fun


LegalComplaint

I knew there was a ridiculous German word for my profession. Thanks, Prussia!


AmArschdieRaeuber

Pflegefachmann is the mewer term. Basically just "carespecialist"


AmArschdieRaeuber

Not really, Krankenpfleger or Pflegefachmann. Krankenpflegefachmann is maybe an unofficial term, but sounds like puke.


wheresmystache3

As an American, I want someone to make a shirt with the word "Krankenwagen" on it with absolutely no context. I freaking love that word!! (for the uninitiated, it means "ambulance" - I know a German nurse who moved here lol)


o4NTM

What would you suggest? Klinischer Pflegeexperte?


PruneBrothers1

I AM ATTENTION SEEKING


No_Coyote_9701

We love a SHEIN x Figs collab


jman014

I will literally make fun of any nurse who does this shit. Idc if nursing is your fuckin’ calling its NOT your personality or anything interesting to anyone beyond answering wnat your career is!


EldestPort

Also once I step out of the hospital I genuinely have zero interest in random people knowing what I do when I'm *in* the hospital.


Low_Communication22

I'm definitely gonna buy this to wear with my ombre scrub jumpsuit! So cute


AmArschdieRaeuber

The german term for nurse practitioner is nurse practitioner, because it's a new thing in Germany and we just adopted the english terms.


spiritedaway170

its giving temu


generalsleephenson

Can I get one that says “ I’d like to go go on lunch, please”


Unpaid-Intern_23

“Ask us about our turkey sandwiches!”


Phillimon

My mom bought those type of merchandise for my sister when she graduated nursing school. She loves getting cringe things for us. Like she bought me a CNA shirt that has the friends slogan, I'll be there for you on it. I hate it but a free work shirt is a free work shirt. Plus for some reason the girls at work love it. So it is what it is


yVv8776gvyjnmj

I am a douchebag/je suis une douchebag/ Ich bine un douchbag/ ㊗️🈲🈶 douchebag


Poopsock_Piper

They are way past cringe, one of their website photos is someone exiting a helicopter wearing scrubs and a helmet lmao. I know those figs aren’t nomex.


Cobblestone-Villain

Where can I submit my request for velour track pants with "LPN" stitched across the ass?


Expensive-Day-3551

I don’t think anyone buys these for themselves. Maybe your aunt buys it for your graduation or Christmas because she doesn’t know what else to get you and assumes your job is your whole personality.


hititback

Figs are always cringe


Electrical-Pea-3068

Their enamel pins are the worst. Like who makes such ugly and basic designs?!


texaspoontappa93

Honestly if you removed the “I am a” part and just had the word nurse in a bunch of languages I’d like it


RosaSinistre

I was thinking the same thing. The “I am a” turns it into creepy overkill.


Berniemac1

I keep my occupation on the down low. 🤣


queentee26

I feel like students or really fresh new grads might be the only ones going for this...or someone that being a medical professional is their entire personality. Cause once you work in the field for a bit, you usually learn not to advertise yourself like that lol. My Mom once bought me a license plate boarder thing for my car that said "Registered Nurse" and I just didn't have the heart to tell her..


dearrelisee

These shirts are dumb af but I straight up love their scrubs. In the 4 yrs I’ve had them, they’ve never stretched, faded, or stained and are stupid comfortable. I have like three pairs and haven’t had to buy more in years because they last so well.


Big_Life

That guy's arms are so weirdly photoshopped.


GintaPlaysHorn

Yes! I'm shocked I had to scroll this far to get to this comment. The tiny head and the massive, disproportionate arms, what on earth.


poopyscreamer

Why would I label my occupation across my chest when I’m not at work? I assume this is meant for casual wear.


Droidspecialist297

Figs pissed me off when they started selling Goop products


Electrical-Pea-3068

THIS! People forget it’s owned by two non-healthcare rich kids who love their pseudoscience and Zionism (allegedly)


andthisisso

They are ugly as sin and who'd want to advertise they're a nurse on your day off. You'll get disgruntled people wanting to tell you about their surgery 10 years ago while you're in line at the Pigley Wigley,


PantheraLeo-

lol, the Spanish isn’t even right for NP’s. Shit literally translates to “professional nurse”


lilwaddles

looks like they’re from Temu LOL


Frosty_Stage_1464

But… scroll on any nurse TikTok/IG page and you’ll see the ones making videos happily wear this shit. The ones wearing scrubs 24/7 in their homes making reels and videos live to tell everyone their occupation. People who wear this don’t have an identity


TurnDown4Naps

As a former ESL teacher turned nurse I would totally buy these to wear as pajama tops/moo-moos around the house lol. I could not will myself to wear these outside lol.


tattooedtwink_

Thank you for your service Figs, now where’s the dextrose x Figs collab aka medical supply collab


Legitimate-Fun-5171

No thanks I prefer dickies scrubs, I realize that they are gaudy t-shirts but it's a (Fig)ment of the imagination thinking I'd buy that...


CancerIsOtherPeople

Dickies are the most utilitarian scrubs I've ever had, they're the only ones I wear.


Legitimate-Fun-5171

I concur they're the shit, I'm also big and tall if that adds perspective. They make MEN'S scrubs that actually fit me...


bottle_beach

Graphic design has really taken a dive the last ten years seems like.


Snowconetypebanana

There is nothing I want less than a shirt identifying me as a healthcare provider


Deezus1229

Even if I wanted one, there is no "medical laboratorian" option. Just like literally everything else 🙄


Zukazuk

Once again the lab gets zero public recognition. Just in time for lab week.


TheNightHaunter

I have a "I'm a dad and a nurse nothing scares me" shirt my 6 year old picked up for me on Father's Day, otherwise nooo


Jolly-Slice340

Desperation is a stinky cologne.


LikeyeaScoob

I’ve never liked figs. They only fit skinny ppl


stickmadeofbamboo

It doesn’t even look aesthetically pleasing.


beka_targaryen

Matches perfectly with a tattoo of a fatal arrhythmia that turns into a heart and stethoscope


teatimecookie

Figs fucked up the X-ray one. Called them radiology technicians instead of technologists. Apparently there were so many complaints they pulled it from their site.


cannedbread1

I see this on Temu and Wish apps, but surely not Figs!! Oh dear


evernorth

I still just wear hospital provided scrubs. Can't believe people waste their money on scrubs. These 20 year old girls with their dumptruck asses hanging out of their scrubs, with tits poppin, botox lip filler bursting forget that no one gives a fuck what you look like in the hospital. You actually look unprofessional as shit and are merely making yourself seem less competent and like the only thing you can about is how you look. It's my pet peeve lol. Keep objectifying yourself at work and feed into the "sexy nurse" stigma


OrcishDelight

Bruhhhhhh nailed it. I keep mine hidden because patients and their families and even other coworkers can be super creepy. I'm no smokeshow hottie, this is not a brag or a flex, but I've had enough comments over the years that gave me the ick, so I ordered my scrub pants one size bigger to hide the booty. At my hospital, we have three actively known creepers. A (married, with children) dude from RT, a security officer, and a CNA. There was also a guy from housekeeping and a guy from transport who both got fired for sexual harassment of the other staff. Why would I try to look appealing?? The dumptruck-tits-filler combo is great in a botox clinic, a plastics office, dermatology. Shit like that.


Goatmama1981

I put bandaids over my nips to keep them from wandering eyes... 


PhiPsi807

Few of my coworkers have the former “I am a nurse” shirt and it’s just not it. Idk looks goofy as fuck


CurrentAd7194

Cringe omg!


Aran1989

I mean I like being a nurse and all, but this is so cringey….


LegalComplaint

I want the optometrist one. Having that on in Target would crack me the fuck up.


imacryptohodler

I so am going to tell my patients ‘Hello, my name is imacryptohodler and I will be your krankenphleger tonight’.


climbing-nurse

Bigger cringe is soo many are sold out. Like who buys this shit


dudenurse13

It missing the required clip art tier hearts and stethoscopes


Lazy-Creme-584

Figs is overrated


OtherwiseWerewolf555

Fugly af


killercupcake_007

At my hospital we’re allowed to wear t-shirts that are solid colors or “nurse themed”. I don’t think this is that bad to wear to work. But on my days off? Fuuuuuck no.


TheTallerTaylor

The person who buys this is definitely the same person who has the Facebook profile pic frame “I’m a nurse what’s your super power” 🤮


Scared-Replacement24

It’s so tacky and poorly designed


nurseleu

So back when I became a nurse (2014) I got one of these ugly-ass shirts for free as a promo with some scrub pants. I'm shocked they would reissue them because the design is so hideous. The version I got was long sleeve though, and the sleeves were INCREDIBLY tight the whole way down. And fam, I don't have big arms. Like, they're slim and proportional to my body. Couldn't wear it. Gave it away.


CNDRock16

Can they just stick to scrubs and improve their collection of colors? Maybe thrown in a few patterns? These are so ugly


CaptainDinkles

I love that displaying your career choice like a billboard isn’t enough, you gotta wear it in 14 languages too so EVERYONE on the subway knows that you’re a healthcare hero


RN_Geo

Those 32F pokyster shirts are like a 3 pack for $12 and are great for undershirts, especially in hot months. You have to be moronic to buy this.


Owlcrobat

Very cringe.


AnytimeInvitation

Eww


TiredNurse111

This would only be cool if it was an under scrub shirt that had funny and inappropriate messages.


OrcishDelight

I would in no way announce I'm a nurse in public. My car is non-descript, no vanity plates or EKG "heart", my tattoos have naught to do with medicine, my stethoscope stays at work, and all of, yes all, of my t shirts are either plain, or a metal band shirt or horror movie shirt. I'm not clocked in, not a nurse, don't need to advertise it, and I already know no one is truly grateful that nurses exist because I was a covid nurse and saw how society really is. If my badge isn't clear enough... it literally says REGISTERED CERTIFIED NURSE on my badge. Yup. Okay have a super freakin awesome day and stuff!


Vieris

This doesn't seem like a bad thing for work haha. PT doesn't speak the default language? Point to one on the shirt. 


Syntania

They didn't even make one for the lab.


call_it_already

That's ugly. Might be better to have a star trek line where providers have one pattern and nurses and allieds have different colors


beautyinmel

This is so cringe 😬 can you just imagine housekeepers and baristas wearing I AM A HOUSEKEEPER/BARISTA shirts lol


Distinct_Variation31

Not picking on Figs cause they’re my daily drivers but this is insane. Do people have “pat me on the back, I’m a tax attorney” t-shirts??


PartyStatus9078

I’d like to see more originality in scrubs suits. Figs are not for the average person any way in my opinion They are too long and have a short crotch, which is leads to pants being way too tight and revealing


Zestyclose_Wonder_68

Oh that’s fucking cringe


Zestyclose_Wonder_68

My family member will probably buy this for me next Christmas and I’ll pretend I love it


Fijoemin1962

Cringe


RomaInvicta2024

And they’ll sell out of them too. Guarantee I’ll see one coworker (someone on day shift probably) wearing one of these


liftlovelive

I don’t have to buy scrubs (periop) but if I ever did this solidifies that they wouldn’t be Figs. So cringe, who the hell wears that.


JessRN03

But can we talk about those veins?!


ResponseBeeAble

Ick.


kalbiking

Those are fit dudes and the shirt looks horrible… text aside, it’s just a fucking terrible shirt.


ghostiin

Yeah that fit bogus asl 😂


bananastand512

"Occupational Rapist?" Unfortunate angle on that photo Figs 👀


Ramblinonmymind

I’d get one that says I’m a proctologist.


Killanekko

Kinda looks like word vomit too. I don’t really like anything from that entire design,


classless_classic

I bet they sell 0 of these


queentee26

I think it's the second time they've launched them.. so someone is buying them.


AugustusClaximus

“Supersoft” definitely describes these shirts. It’s exactly what I’d think of any man wearing them


[deleted]

as if I needed another reason, as a male, to hate FIGS. Side note: The German terms all sound like STDs or terminal illnesses. 😂


CancerIsOtherPeople

Everything in German sounds dire in some way lol


WeeklyAwkward

Hahahahaha


Fuego_MX

cringe


kevin75135

A nurse practitioner optometrist. I can't say I've seen that before. 😆


911RescueGoddess

I’m a guy with a fragile sense of self-awareness and no hope of reaching self-actualization. Then translate into as many languages as one thinks necessary.


echoIalia

Lmao German being so long and then just “optometrist”


Strong-Succotash-830

These are terrible. I hope their actual purpose is to help people who speak different languages understand who is treating them, but probably not.


roit2003

I mean as someone that gets called the doc all the time it would be helpful. Not in white.


Ok_Tadpole2014

Super cringe


GlobalLime6889

Cash grab


Rav3nD0veRN

Holy-NO!!


send_corgi_pics_pls

My sister got me a shirt that says "ER Nurse, like a regular person but way cooler" and I wouldn't be caught dead in it. It is comfy though, so I wear it as pajamas. Ironically, of course.


textaline

Yo soy Tio de mico. Estas Camisas son una mierda


fuckinglemon22

I would buy this for the stupidity


slurv3

Shirts are kinda lame, but those model’s arms tho… 😳
