I know we have talked about jobs that ask you to remove body mods...but student courses too? Thats fucking rediculous. My gf just started the nursing course and the instructors started laying down rules against mods. Really? You're paying them and they are able to tell you how to decorate your body.
Im a paramedic and my bodymods have never hindered patient care.

Discuss in this thread the aforementioned horseshit.

I think that would just make me want to get more visible mods. I don't understand what that has, at all, to do with taking classes.

I believe because she is set to become a nurse, maybe visible piercings should be removed. Healthcare is a strict field with infection misconceptions.. It is just the way it is.

I feel if this were to take occasion in my country and I had invited myself in this education, the lesson although medical. I would delay my education for one maybe two years.

I mean to say, if they found out by investigation that I enjoyed nipple ring or dilation of penis then would they feel the same!

You have to do practical courses as well ofcourse. And although some people might abuse the following reason just because they don't like visible piercings; it's usually done for your own safety. 99,9% of the time you probably won't have this problem when you're a nurse on a "normal" part of a hospital. But i.e. on the ER, psychiatric ward, .... patients could cause you serious harm if you're wearing visible piercings. But in that 0,01% that you might come in contact with a patient that causes you harm because of the piercings, you'll be happy to have taken them out.
There are other, perhaps less significant, reasons as well but I think this will be one of the most important.
But honestly, I wouldn't want to have a nurse with an eyebrow piercing (for example) that loses one of the balls when some part of my body is opened up or something

So even though I do not agree with this on some jobs, I do understand it might be a necessity in others, like when you're a nurse for example.
