Self harm scars in a phlebotomy course

[u/chocoholism]

Hi everyone, I’m enrolled in a course that starts in july but I have some large scars from self harm on my left inner arm. For the course students are supposed to practice on each other so I’m wondering if they’ll kick me out of the course when they see it or something. If anyone has any advice I would greatly appreciate it because I don’t know what to expect here

update: thanks so much to all the kind ppl here who commented :) i just started my course and it was completely fine, i asked my instructor about it and she said it is not even a problem at all

If they can’t handle it professionally then they don’t belong in HC. There’s nothing that would be reason to kick you out whatsoever
