Four human Figures
The four human figures, with the following colors: green, yellow, red and blue – correspond to the four year levels of the Department (first, second, third and fourth level, respectively) united as one community of nursing students embodied with the Four Cardinal virtues - Wisdom (Sapientia), Justice (Iustitia), Fortitude (Fortitudo) and Temperance (Temperentia).

The first human figure, represented by green, symbolizes justice. It is one of the virtues that an aspiring nurse must possess - to treat every person equally and without prejudice, regardless of his status in the society. The second human figure, represented by yellow, symbolizes temperance. An aspiring nurse must know how to practice self-control and moderation. It is important that an individual learns how to resist his or her self desires for his or her own improvement.

The third, represented by red, signifies fortitude, or strength. An aspiring nurse must learn how to develop the virtue of patience and to be strong enough to face difficulties and hardships. Finally, the fourth figure, represented by blue, symbolizes wisdom. To be a professional nurse means to be equipped with sufficient knowledge and experience needed for him or her to make the right decisions and be able to provide the right kind of care to his or her patients.

Lighted Lamp
The lighted lamp symbolizes the Nursing Profession. It is attributed in honor of Florence Nightingale, Founder of Modern Nursing. During the Crimean War, she and her colleagues served as nurses and treated the sick and wounded soldiers. She used to make rounds at night to check her patients, carrying a lamp with her, thus she became known as, ‘The Lady with the Lamp".

Uplifting Hands
The pair of hands that serve as the base of the lamp symbolize the duty of every members of the LNSA to uplift and preserve the prestige of the organization bounded by the ideals of the Nursing Profession.
