  16. tattoos

    SunnyCaRN replied to mglave's topic in General Nursing

    IMHO, nursing is considered a conservative profession and as such I would not get a tattoo that could not be easily hidden. Unfortunately, tatoos still carry a stigma and even though times are more...

    SunnyCaRN replied to pnstudent007's topic in California Nursing
