It might, I know that my boyfriend doesn’t wear his lip ring to his job because he would get in trouble for it. Because he fixes copiers and fax machines, so it’s like a professional thing.
As health and safety has gone mad it would probably either have to be removed or covered. This is dependent on which area you will be working in as some areas are a definite no to jewelry.
Nursing is a profession where, in addition to the health and safety issues, there is a requirement by most facilities that a certain level of professional dress is required. The fact that you ask this question obviously shows that even you question the appropriateness of a nurse having piercings.
Most facilities prefer that clinical professionals not have any dangling jewelry, or extra piercings. Many prefer that visible tattoos are covered.
Think if you went to get health care, and the provider had multiple piercings or tattoos, would you feel better or worse, than if they presented a professional appearance. Since the majority of society does not have additional piercings, or tattoos, it is considered to be best if all of these statements of self-expression be able to be covered in the clinical environment.
