If that's completely out of the question I'm just going to go a very platinum blonde, so please don't yell at me about my ridiculous hair color choice. :]
It's up to the dress code of the nursing program and the hospital(s) you may be working in for clinicals. Most describe hair color as it must be of a color that occurs in nature.
I know this may be contentious for some to read but many nurses bemoan how we are not treated/considered/portrayed as professionals. Yet I see precious few doctors, engineers or similar running around with full sleeve tattoos (or even tattoos that show) and I have never seen one with hair color that "doesn't occur in nature". Express yourself with the color of your walls at home.
I'm thinking you will have to change just about everything - hair, piercings, tattoos, makeup and especially the hat. Nursing is not about creative expression of self, it's about the patients.
