Minor Vent

Published

Since when does a small stud on the side of my nose reflect my ability as a nurse?

I've had it on since the beginning of the school year and several other teachers have one too.

Of course I am not petty enough to throw em under the bus, but really?

Now if I had the septum or eyebrow or snake bites then yea, I can understand but a stud the size of ball point pen? :facepalm:

Okay, vent over. :happy:

Ug. I don't think you need to call out other employees by name, but I would mention that you are not the only one.

I considered this for a moment but knowing the power trip principal I have, she'd probably call a meeting and inspect every single employee in this campus.

I just find it ridiculous.

I'm itching for some tattoo expansion onto my arms and/on legs/feet, and this is exactly why I've been stagnant on it. The judgement is real.

Wondering if it came from a parent complaint? Some administrators will bend over backwards to please parents.

No, the secretary asked her something in regards to piercings and I think that's how she "figure it out"...

It's sucks. I'm surprised she hasn't said anything about the ying yang on my wrist.

I just personally feel that if it's nothing offensive, then what's the big deal?

So many of our employees have tattoos and our AP has a nose ring. Our Handbook does say our tattoos need to be covered but a lot of us have them showing and had no issues.

Someone must think it's offensive.

I think I would have a lot more to focus/worry about than what you are describing. In my mind I think it would feel like a booger stuck in my nose all day and think... Oh how do you get over that feeling.

Glad you mentioned it so I can have the opportunity to tell you seeing that with the oily nose and the grime under it when it moves.

Well very unappealing, dirty,greasy looking..so since you asked.No place for it around sick , germ laden hospitals.

Presuming the OP uses daily hygiene like everyone else, why would her nose stud be any grimier or dirtier than the rest of her nose or face?

This makes no sense.
