I teach for a community college. This program is being ran almost like a military school. When I was attending the same college many moons ago, our lab instructor literally got under the bed to see how well we put a bottom flat sheet on the bed and if there were wrinkles underneath the bed.
We were expected to all dress alike, hair off the collar,(no ponytails) one pair of post earrings or none at all, only a wedding ring allowed with no diamond set (so as to not accidentally hurt a resident/patient) , no make-up, no fingernail polish except clear, fingernails trimmed where they could not be seen above the fingers, no perfumes, tattoos hidden, no necklaces, and no going to the store in your uniform after clinicals.
What about your schools? Are/where they the same? Just very curious.
I went to visit a potential school this afternoon, and their requirements are not any more strict than a corporate dress policy. Of course, you must wear the uniform (I can't wait - NO MORE WEARING TIES!), clean and neat. The only thing that stood out was no tongue or exposed piercings. Not one word about tattoo's! Fine with me, I would not think they would object to the one's I have exposed - the japanese character for peace on the back of my neck, and the pink breast cancer ribbon on the inside of my left wrist, and, I AM planning more!
