I have a big question and need only POSITIVE advice.
I'm 52 and have been a nurse for since 2002. I have always wanted to tint my skin green and dye my hair purple. I know it sounds odd but I feel it would be an accurate expression of my Zany personality. Do you think this would hurt my chances of getting into and NP program or hurt my future job prospects.
I saw the title, thought "what the..??" Clicked open the thread, read the first line, and thought "oh LORD here we go again!" And then I read the rest and you made my very aggravating afternoon much happier :)
If you were accepted into my NP program (which I am sure you would as we are that kind of group) I would want to sit next to you and ask you all kinds of questions and be your best bud. I have wanted to dye my hair blue for quite some time now and get a tattoo. I'm working myself up to it. You give me courage.

It realty was a joke - Thank You Everyone who played along
Oh. And here I was, about to talk about how I successfully managed to rock purple highlights in my hair throughout my last job and most of my grad program. The key is to put them in sneaky places so you can style your hair 1 way to show them off and another to cover them. You know...just...in case you decide someday that it's not a joke...
The green skin though? Probably not a good idea. :)
Just tell them you come from Somewhere, Over the Rainbow. Then cackle and wave a broom about. If they reject you just send your flying monkeys to get them... and their little dog too.

Well, now, I suspect the green skin will not be much of a problem. It's just that the ball-bearings surgically implanted beneath the skin of your bald head, the split tongue, and the red contact lenses might be a little disconcerting at the bedside @NICU. You might try a career in research, where your appearance will be less jarring.
According to the ADA act of 1478, you're not allowed to be denied employment based on having purple/green hues attached to your body/hair. The FDA and FBI both monitor employers to be sure they comply with this law, so you'll be good to go girllllll.
