   Sagegrr replied to futurenurse'15's topic in Professionalism

   In my area, tattoos must be covered up. Piercings are okay as long as they aren't extreme. Lip piercing and gauges are a no no. I had a fellow nursing student who had very sexual tattoos and she almost got kicked out of the program for refusing to co...

   Sagegrr replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    I think you handled it well! You froze momentarily then took charge of the situation. Nursing, like everything else takes practice and time.
