    Still cannot find a job

    catlovingRN replied to Mel42174's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Can you have piercings in the nursing program?

    catlovingRN replied to choomtop's topic in General Students

    Personally I feel like if you can't see it when it's flipped up no one should even know you have it so I can't really see any issue. I have 4 piercings in each ear and they're a pain to take out with...
