My friend's daughter is just about to start her classes to become a nurse. She wants to have a cake for the first day when she gets home from school. I found an image I like, but I'm not sure if it will work for a FBCT, it looks like it is a chocolate transfer or color flow or something. I also can't get it big enough to print out properly. Any tips? Once I get it big enough, it's REALLY blurry.

Also, if I wanted to try to find another similar image, what do you think I would type in google or yahoo image search. I typed "nurse with needle", "cartoon Nurse" and just nurse. Any other idears??

The quote on the cake is going to be, "School is such a pain in the ....." so that's why i need a similar image.

There is a website that I use when I'm doing Word documents at work and need pictures/images. Go to www.Microsoft.com
In the upper right corner of the page type in Design Gallery Live in the "search" area.
When the results come up - click on Microsoft Office Clip Art & Media Home Page.
On the top of the page in the search area - leave "All Media Types" in that box but in the box next to it type in whatever subject your searching for: Nurse or patient or medical..........
I think your going to love this site. I use it ALL the time. It's great and I'm positive you'll find something there. You can then download them onto your pc and make them as big or as small as you want there and then print them out. PM me if you need any more help with the website. This is a free website so you don't have to pay for downloading any of this. It's great!

I love this site.
I am already thinking about what kind of cake I want to do for my daugther's graduation from nursing school next May.

I didn't think to ask...WHAT WAS I thinking...LOL

Thank you GinaJuarez for asking .

Thank you BJ for the site.

GinaJuarez,

I have changed the image into something I think will work for a BCT and have PM'd it to you. HTH.

Thank you to everyone for their help, especially for the images reconfigured. I did the BCT last night and it turned out wonderful! My friend has decided she wants to change the words on the cake, but still wants that image (Whew!). The problem now is she doesn't know what she wants. Any other ideas? I was thinking, Give it Your Best Shot or something. shoot, i don't know

Thanks, will post a pic later on tonight when I finish.

I think you came up with a great alternative.

The only thing that I keep thinking of "Success is 99% perspiration and 1% A#*piration."

Thank you everyone, cake has been posted!

Great Job! I love the saying.

How about " Nurses call all the Shots"

Why don't you make a butt shaped cake and have a syringe sicking out of one of the cheeks. (i'm imagining a lollipop stick for a needle, and long enough to support itself in the cake with a fondant barrel thingy) It doesn't have to be obscene, you can make fondant undies, with maybe strips of that aweful hospital johnnie green going up the sides like one of those open-in-the-back gowns. You can put ribbons for the ties......

Sorry, I didn't realize this was an older post!!
