The hospital I work at has a policy of no tattoos at work. Any tattoos that you do have must be covered up by clothing. I was wondering what other policies are out there. Are tattoos allowed? Is it enforced where you work? Do you like/hate the policy and how would you change it if you could?
With all of the medical dramas on TV these days and how easily accessible these shows are to watch, a lot of people see nurses in a less that accurate light. Do you think that this influences people's perceptions and expectations of nurses in real life and if so how?
I am a nursing student who is just over a month away from graduation. As I get ready to go into the work force I would like to know something from some experienced nurses. What is the ONE thing that you wish they would have taught you in nursing school to help you in your careers?
