Nursing Dawn Lamp Pin
The design
On the pin
A gold-edged arch encloses a pale nursing lamp beneath a rising yellow sun. A small orange flame breaks the navy field at the right, while CARE BEGINS sits on a separate gold-framed nameplate.
What it means
The rising sun makes this a beginning-of-care design rather than a long-service award. Its clear lamp silhouette gives a school or cohort a focal point without reproducing a detailed institutional seal.
Colors and finish
Navy holds the background together, with warm yellow and orange around the lamp. The example uses shiny gold and hard enamel. Keep a strong light-to-dark contrast if the background changes to a school color.

Occasions
When to order
Work back from the ceremony date and allow time for the school to approve the wording and artwork. Include the actual event date in the request; this concept is not tied to a printed graduation year.
Who orders it
Nursing programs welcoming a graduating cohort, orientation groups and educators marking a first clinical placement. The arch leaves less room for a full circular school name than a round seal; use a short program name on the front and discuss any longer identifier on the proof.

Specifications and price
Personalizing the artwork
Keep the lamp and sunrise when the message is a new beginning. If a full school seal is essential, compare this arch with a round nursing design before choosing the shape. The narrow lower nameplate favors a short phrase, abbreviated program name or class year.
Pictured configuration
The pictured configuration is 1.25 inches at its longest edge, with hard enamel, shiny gold, a rubber clutch and individual polybag. It is a design visualization. For a ceremony gift box or a different back, select the option in the order request and compare the full quote.
Price and ordering choices
Use the size and quantity options above to compare the selected configuration. The pricing page explains quantity tiers and optional backs, engraving and packaging. Include your exact wording and event date in the artwork request so the proof shows the design you intend to order.

Can a school crest replace the sunrise?
Send the crest for an artwork review. A compact crest can replace the sun, but a detailed seal may need simplification or a larger pin so the lamp remains clear.
Where would the class year go?
A short year can replace the nameplate wording or sit below a shortened program name. The proof will show the lettering at the selected size.
What size is the pictured pin?
The pictured design is 1.25 inches (31.75 mm) at its longest edge. The size-comparison view shows 0.75-, 1- and 1.25-inch versions beside a US quarter. Your proof shows the size you select.
