Earrings?

Published

I know it probably depends on school and hospital. But any guys here were earrings? What is your experience with them? just wondering cause i have small studs in both ears.

Is the Blackbeard School of Nursing accredited?

I think so, yes. Tough school. If you can't cut the mustard they'll have you walk the plank.

I rocked a diamond stud all throughout school, never had any issues

Nursing program policy: one stud per ear (for guys) in the classroom/lecture only. In any clinical site, no earrings for guys.

In the hospital system for which I work now: guys are allowed one stud-type earring per ear

If females can wear studs then males can as well. Otherwise that is gender based discrimination.

It's all fun and games until an altered pt or some one else rips them out of your ears. Why present an easy target?

I wear earrings. Just not to clinicals. In class the teacher doesn't seem to care

In my college institution we are not allowed at all to have piercings during clinical area although I have seen employees wear them. I guess it depends on your institution and their policy. I personally don't care about it but it's better you check out.

Specializes in None.

I have several piercings in both ears, I am expected to follow the same guidlines the women are, I am permitred one stud in each ear and must remove the others while on clinical site. We are rather casual in class so I am allowed to wear all of them if I like.
