Tattoos?

Published

Question- In school we are required to cover up any tattoos while in the clinical setting. I have seen various nurses working who do not. Appropriate or not?

If the facility has no rules about tattoos, then I guess the answer to whether uncovered tattos are "appropriate or not" is simply a matter of opinion. If employees are required to cover their tattoos, the point is essentially moot.

Depends on the facility and their dress code. As far as nursing school, definitely cover them up as that is the requirement.
