Can you put a Bandaid on it? Then tell them the removal didn't "take". then another Band aid etc...etc...

You'll be doing what they wanted

perhaps you can check the list of schools for second coursers (courtesy of gemini star). click here: http://allnurses.com/forums/f235/sch...ng-160831.html

or you can visit other schools near your residence. just keep on knocking.

Cover it everyday with the makeup made for people with scars.

My school only made you cover up tattoos... with an ace bandage or bandaid... just as long as no tattoos were showing they were fine with it.

philippine catholic schools can be overly conservative at times.......try looking for a school which doesnt have any religious affiliations....
