Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ Blue RN border printed front and back, so a flipped badge still reads correctly
  • ✓ Laminated water proof, spill proof and tear resistant build for hospital shifts
  • ✓ Blank white face takes permanent or dry erase marker for notes and lab values
  • ✓ 3 3/8 in by 3 1/8 in horizontal size hangs below standard horizontal ID badges

  • ✗ Horizontal format only, not sized for vertical badge holders
  • ✗ Fixed RN credential, no option to relabel for LPN, CNA or tech roles
  • ✗ Blue border is set at printing, so it cannot be color-matched to a unit scheme

The laminated construction is water proof, spill proof and tear resistant, with roughly the same firm-but-flexible give as a standard credit card. The blank white surface is the practical part: write notes, lab values, room…
