What does the design look like?

The design fills the chest like a billboard. A golden rising sun sits at the top. "WE CHART" in green and "AT DAWN" in cream stack in giant Anton letters. A kawaii frog sits below. It has big eyes and pink cheeks. It wears a stethoscope around its neck. It holds a coffee cup in its hand. It sits on a lily pad. The taglines "RN LIFE • COFFEE FIRST" and "CHART LATER • SLEEP NEVER" run along the bottom. The artwork covers 74.2% of the width and 80.7% of the height of the print area, so it reads clearly from across the room.

Why is this the nurse shirt to buy?

Etsy's nurse unit shirt market lists this design as a bestseller. The listing is "Comfort Colors We Chart At Dawn Nurse Shirt, Funny Frog Meme RN Tee". Our October 26 report also lists it as a nurse bestseller. The humor works because every nurse knows the dawn shift, the charting, and the coffee. The meme "we ride at dawn" meets the frog meme, and the result is a shirt that the whole unit wants. Buy it for Nurses Week, for RN graduation, or for the nurse who charted at dawn and is still standing.

Is the frog Pepe the Frog?

No. The frog is drawn from scratch. It is a cute kawaii frog with big eyes and pink cheeks, not Pepe the Frog, and not any other meme character. The stethoscope, the coffee cup, and the lily pad are all original art. The words "We Chart At Dawn" are a generic nurse joke, not a trademark. You get the humor without the copyright risk.

Which color should I choose?

Black makes the green "WE CHART" and the golden sun pop the hardest, and it is the main image on this page. White keeps the whole design bright and is the best choice for daytime photos. Navy and Forest give the nurse palette a deeper tone. Red matches the frog's pink cheeks for a playful look. All five colors use the same big print, and the design is sized to fill the chest at every size.

When should you wear it?

Wear it on the dawn shift, at Nurses Week, at RN graduation, and on the day after a long night shift. It is perfect for the RN, the LPN, the CNA, and the nursing student who is still learning to chart. It also makes a great gift for the nurse preceptor, the charge nurse, and the whole unit. Pair it with scrubs and a coffee cup, and the outfit is complete.

How do I pick my size?

Our unisex fit runs true to size. Take your normal size for a classic fit, or size up once for a relaxed, oversized look. The shirt is pre-shrunk cotton, so it keeps its shape wash after wash. Every size gets the same big print. The design scales to fill the chest from XS to 3XL. The 2XL adds $2 and the 3XL adds $3.

How do I wash it?

Machine wash cold, inside out, with like colors. Use mild detergent. Tumble dry low or hang to dry. Do not iron directly on the print. Do not use bleach. Follow these steps and the print stays crisp for years. The DTG ink bonds with the cotton fibers, so the colors stay rich through dozens of washes.
