The Purpose

We believe that by maintaining a higher nursing image standard, we will encourage new candidates to participate in our chosen profession. We have placed Florence Nightingale's mantle over our shoulders; we bear the burden for the future of the nursing profession; and, with our footsteps, we set the path for those who wish to follow. If we do not take action now to improve the nursing image, we could sound the death knoll for patients figuratively and literally. Those who would enter this profession will only do so if they can be treated with respect, honor, and dignity. We must hold our heads high, smile, and have a look of satisfaction on our faces.

As piercings become more and more extreme, what is the limit that should be applied to those in the nursing profession? Any skin break poses a risk for infection. Also, some patients view nurses with piercings as being impulsive, violent, and even dangerous due to cultural beliefs. Other than modest ear piercings, can any piercing fit into the professional image of nursing?
