My Patients Are Smaller Than My Coffee - Funny NICU Nurse T-Shirt

Somewhere around hour ten of a NICU shift, the coffee gets bigger and the patients stay tiny. This tee just says it out loud - politely, with a slightly raised eyebrow.

The Design

A smiling, swaddled preemie in a sage pom-pom beanie cuddles up to a takeaway coffee cup that is clearly winning the size contest. Wildflowers, little mushrooms and tiny hearts frame the scene in a soft vintage storybook style, with arched NICU Nurse lettering on top and My Patients Are Smaller Than My Coffee below in sage green, terracotta and coffee brown. It's cozy cottagecore charm with a dry sense of humor - cute enough for the unit, funny enough for the break room.

Perfect For

• NICU and neonatal nurses who run on caffeine and kindness
• Nurses Week, new job or nursing school graduation surprises
• The coworker who always brings the extra latte to night shift
• Coffee lovers who swaddle better than they sleep

Printed on a soft, lightweight unisex tee that's ready for scrubs-off days, coffee runs and every shift in between. Grumpy about short staffing, soft about tiny toes - that's the Grumpy Goose way.
