random question

I was wondering if anyone has any input on how tattoos are percieved at CSN and the nursing field in general. I dont have any on forearms or neck or anything. just one midway down bicep. they are easy to hide with usually just a tee shirt but definitely with 3/4 length shirt under scrubs. I plan to keep them hidden but was just curious if someone got a glimpse of them are you then viewed or treated differently. Not just at CSN but in nursing field in general. thanks for any input.

I have three tattoos personally (but they are all hidden). I have seen nurses that have tattoos that are shown. There is a thread (I think its in the general nursing forum) that talks about tattoos. If you look it up, you will see that you are not alone. I think that as long as you can hide them, then do so, and if not, people won't care unless they are outrageous. At CSN, your uniform should hide it, so it won't matter.

concentrate on your skills...tattos are more obvious than a lot of statements but you will do fine
