What is printed on it

At the center of the graphic, a black and red acoustic stethoscope loops gracefully so its flexible tubing forms a distinct heart shape. Tiny red speckles, miniature hearts, and petal-like accents radiate outward from the tubing, giving the instrument an upbeat floral atmosphere. The prominent word “NURSE” appears twice in broad, rustic lettering filled with a red and black buffalo check plaid pattern. Between these large titles, clean sans-serif text spells “- IS A CHOICE -” and “- IS AN HONOR -”, with “RETIRED” highlighted in bright red lettering flanked by double arrow brackets. Everything reflects the nursing profession, celebrating clinical experience through charming visual motifs.
