Nursing Cross Crest Nursing Pin
The design
On the pin
A round pin with a red ring and gold-tone edges. SCHOOL OF NURSING arches across the top and EST. 1965 along the bottom in gold-tone letters, around a white center with a bold navy cross.
What it means
The cross has been linked with care for the sick since the hospital orders of the Middle Ages, and nursing schools used it on badges long before lamps and stethoscopes appeared. Pairing it with the year the school was founded turns the pin into a statement of the school's own history.
Colors and finish
Two enamel colors plus gold tone keep the design bold and readable down to 0.75 inch. The ring is the natural place for your school color.

Should the pin show the founding year or the class year?
A founding year makes a pin the school can order unchanged every year; a class year makes each class's pin its own. Some schools put the founding year on the front and engrave the class year on the back.
Can the cross be another color or shape?
Yes. Navy is the default; gold tone or your school color also work, and the cross can take a shape from your school's own history. A red cross on a white center is the protected Red Cross emblem, so we do not make that combination.
Can you match our existing school pin?
If your school owns the design, yes. Send a photo and we recreate it on your proof.
Can each pin have the graduate’s name?
Yes, laser engraved on the back. Send the class list with your order.
How big is a 1-inch pin?
Slightly larger than a US quarter. It is the most common lapel size for service awards. Your proof shows the pin at actual size.
