4/14/2014 Student is assigned to OB clinical today and Wednesday of this week.  She was not present at 6:45 but came in shortly after 7 AM. Student had several excuses for tardiness. She was wearing plugs in her ears instead of studs and has an internal earring in her ear as well as one in her nose.  She said she covers the one in her nose with a bandaid but does not have one on today and after telling her to put one on she did not.The department was very busy and all students got to see a Caesarean section, including Kaylea.  When I had her change into scrubs so she could go into the section OR, part of the labor and delivery unit, there were no scrubs in her size so I told her to put on any pair, which she did.  She returned to the nurses and complained several times about how big the scrubs were. I finally told her she had a choice she could change back into her student uniform and not observe the delivery.  She chose to keep the scrubs on.  When she came out of the delivery room at 2PM I again confronted her about wearing bandaids over these earrings tomorrow. She took out the plugs and said I can\'t go around like this. I again told her she could cover them with bandaids and should do so tomorrow.  Charlotte Thomas MS, RN Clinical Instructor

4/16/2014 Kaylea arrived on duty with plugs, inside earring and nose ring without any bandaids. I approached her again but the dept. was busy and I had no time to deal with her at this moment.  She was assigned to the nursery and still did not put bandaids over the earrings or nose ring. Charlotte Thomas MS,RN
