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: https://allnurses.com/forums/f235/schools-2nd-coursers-bs-nursing-160831.html

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

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.

Isnt that a violation of rights or something? Non admission due to tattoos?!?!

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

Camouflage make-up that is used to cover scars would work. It is waterproof as well. And may be your best option.

Trying to remove one of that size by laser is going to take some time, and may leave with you with a permanent scar.

If the tatoo does not show thru when you are wearing white stockings, then you should be just fine.

that's funny. one of my female classmates in nursing school has her belly button pierced (don't ask me how i found out) and a butterfly tattoo on her shoulder. my rle partner's got a military tattoo on his deltoid. so what's the fuss?

i cant enroll at perpetual because of my tattoo at my ankle,

thanks :(
