adobeafterglow asked: Hey! Love the blog. I'm strongly considering becoming a nurse and though I do like helping people, I can be fairly cynical. Were you at all cynical when you went into nursing school? Has it made you more or less cynical? Would you say you're able to see the 'good' in people more or do you feel stepped on a lot? Everyone has different experiences though but I'm just...

somnisiboires asked: About the body art: Here in Spain nurses don't need to hide their tattoos or piercings, and most nurses have the hair dyed in a bright red colour. But this is in public hospitals, I'm not familiar with the private hospital situation. So you only need your body art to be safe for you and for your patient (infections, accidental caughts with some kind of piercings, etc), and they must not...
snowfluke asked: To the anon asking about tattoos. At my school, we have to cover all tattoos. When we go to lab at school, they must be covered, at clinicals they must be covered. As for hospitals, I know of nurses who have visible tattoos but it is highly dependent on individual hospital policy.
ashleyslytherin asked: Of course it's going to be different in every school and facility! You should try to contact the school you're in or going to try to attend to find out what their policies are. At my school, we wear the same brand and color scrubs, hair has to be a natural color and pulled up off of our collar in a neat hair do, no facial piercings, and no earrings in the ears. White shoes, white socks,...
ashleyslytherin asked: I'm a first year student at a technical college. They're so strict on us there. I have one wrist tattoo, a cresent moon, not offensive in anyway. I was told to wear a band-aid, make-up, or wear a long sleeve T-shirt over it. One guy has sleeves and he has to wear a long sleeve white shirt under his uniform for clinicals. In the nursing home I haven't noticed any tattoos on the...
ballpointpensandneedles asked: To the person asking about tattoos: In the UK it's not a huge issue; although they tnd to wish the tattoos to be able to be hidden under the uniform. however; I have many co-workers with several tattoos that are always visible and in most cases it's not an issue as long as you behave and present yourself professionally :)
redhairedflame asked: For the anon with the tattoo question - I have wrist tattoos and a facial piercing, and it's never been an issue. I have friends with more than that, and it's not ever been a problem either (and one works in the special care nursery!). We're Australian, so it may be different where you live, but uniforms will cover most, and discrimination laws protect the rest :) Good luck!
Anonymous asked: I know this isn't exactly relevant, but can anyone tell me what it's like for someone with tattoos to go into the nursing field? What it's like in nursing school, in a hospital, etc? Thank you!
