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.

A) OP was tongue in cheek
B) this was nearly 2 years ago
I am still on the forum - but you are right it was tongue in cheek. I did settle on a very nice natural looking red/auburn for my hair that looks great.

As my mom lay dying of cancer, she was green. Really green. I would be afraid people would think you were sick or be remonded of one that went through such horrific chemo.

Hi all,
I have a big question and need only POSITIVE advice.
I hate threads like this. Someone asks a question, presumably to get honest feedback (otherwise, why ask?), but then say only positive responses. In other words, "Give me your opinion, but only if it agrees with mine."

If I saw a woman with purple hair and green skin, I would immediately think she played an Orion slave girl in Star Trek, and would ask for her autograph. You could make so much money at the Star Trek conventions. Orion slave girl | Memory Alpha | Fandom powered by Wikia

The whole thread was intended to be tongue in cheek as a response to a slew of posts asking for only "Positive Feedback" at the time.
I never actually expected the thread to take off as it did - but it sure was fun.

I have to admit to binge watching old Star Trek episodes on weekends off.
One of the professors at our program has purple hair until recently,. Guess you can do that one you have a doctorate and a job. It was awsome though
I to tend to purple, I saw so gorgeous ideas of hairstylezz I have a friend who works for a big bank and has worked there for years and she changes her hair color and style almost every month, and I'm not talking tame styles/color .
No matter how fair the interviewer is, first impressions do make a difference. The interviewer can move past this prejudice in the course of the interview As for changing your hair color just to impress her/him, I would advise against that. The fact that you are asking this question tells me that you want to be respectful of the interviewer and that you want to take the interview (and be taken) seriously.
All in all, being yourself is definitely the way to go!
