12 Inspired Nurse Photoshoot Ideas

4. Pose with the letters of your credentials

Whether you’re a CNA, an LPN, an RN, or an NP, find a set of large 3-dimensional letters and pose with them to emphasize the credentials you’ve attained! For creative nurse photoshoot ideas like this, you can buy the props online. Hold a set of letter balloons like these ones from Party City, or you can cut some large letters out of sturdy foam and paint them to customize them to your liking.

5. Hold a personalized graduation sign

For a graduation-themed nurse photoshoot, a custom nursing graduation sign is a wonderful way to summarize your accomplishments. Although a picture does say a thousand words, it’s hard to convey the info on this type of sign with a photo alone, so a customized sign can speak for you! Emma Sue Bow-Tique offers these custom signs as digital files that you can then have printed on whatever paper or board you prefer.

6. Do a photoshoot in front of your workplace

If you recently got hired or are simply excited about the place you’ve been working as a nurse, this nurse photoshoot idea is a great option. Stand outside your place of work and have your photo taken to demonstrate where your career has taken you!

7. Incorporate your stethoscope as a prop

You can incorporate your stethoscope – an iconic symbol of medicine that you might end up using on a daily basis in your line of work – into your photos in all sorts of ways.

For instance, lots of nurses take photos where they twist their stethoscope into the shape of a heart and hold it up to the camera, like in this photo. Or you can be a little more silly with a hint of glam and take some photos like this one, with your stethoscope hanging off one of your high heels.

8. Write on your medical gloves

Write the message of your choice on the palms of a pair of medical gloves and wear them while holding them up to the camera. For instance, Anne Schillings Photography shared this creative photoshoot where the subject did just that, writing “Nurse” as well as important concepts like “educator,” “empathy,” “patience,” and more on the fingers of the gloves to emphasize what her values would be going forward on this career path.

9. Rent a hospital or other medical set for your photoshoot

You might not have access to an actual hospital or other medical space for your photoshoot, and that’s fine! An alternative is to rent a set for a few hours that’s been designed to look like a real medical location.

For instance, this hospital set in Los Angeles, California is well-reviewed and measures 1,200 square feet, containing “a lobby, hallway, patient room with a curtain, TV, IV pole, heart rate monitor, medical posters, chairs, couch, wheelchair, sink and a nurse station.” To quote one happy reviewer, “This set was incredible and Manoosh was great to work with. Would definitely come back again.”
