Tattoos and nursing

I have a tattoo of a lotus flower below my collar bone and am going to school for my associates in nursing. I am worried that finding a job will be hard.

I had a clinical instructor with tattoos. I can't speak for other areas but the Philadelphia area hospitals have tattooed nurses.

You don't need to get it removed. Just figure out a way to cover it up. No worries.

If I interview you, it will be. I would not hire you. I don't want to be represented this way.When Sandra Day O'Connor, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Hillary Clinton, Kathleen Sebelius, Carly Fiorina, Barbara Boxer, Nancy Pelosi, Patricia Horoho and Queen Elizabeth II start sporting visible tats, I'll consider a different stance. Until then, professional women don't, period.

I have 7, 6 are easily covered one is to the back of my neck (it's a cross)I think a lot of the stigma with tattoos has changed in the past 10 years. it it's a problem, I can cover it, but I chose to tattoo because it's my way to express myself. That being said, I respect those who do not like it, they are generally from an older school and follow the old thought that a "professional lady" should never be tattooed. be ready for whatever, just know how to cover up and you will be fine.

I worked with two different nurses who had old timy looking, faded ink pen ,jail house looking f word and s word and a words on their fingers and or fore arms, very visiable, but didn't seem to bother anyone that I know of.

It's under your collar bone too, so it shouldn't show right?
