I have the Dental Badge but not the Nurse. Presumably the latter is rarer?

David,
Not sure, I presume like the green and blue Army School of Nursing circular badges one is a higher level qualification than the other?
Is it State Enrolled Nurse to State Registered Nurse?

I recently obtained the Green State Enrolled Nurse locally (from Hayling Island) and I am still after the Blue State Registered Nurse badge.
I also have the Dental Hygienist badge.

We wore the badge on the left breast when wearing hospital whites. Then when you qualified as a State Registered Nurse you could wear the civilian badge also on the whites.
Tried to attach a photo but unsuccessful.

BobScot, Did you wear them side by side on the left breast?

Thanks,

Terry
