Would a nurse be allowed on shift with a visible black eye?

I don’t believe you would be allowed on placement if you had a black eye and there was any suspicion that a domestic incident such as you imply had caused it. Neither the work experience venue nor the education course provider would be comfortable as far as I know, and do you really want to have to tell a story if someone asks?

I'm planning to study mental health nursing this September, however my BF sometimes get's a little rough when he drinks, and I'm worried that I won't be allowed to do work placement if I get a blackeye (if they consider it unprofessional or distressing to service users). Would you have to take time off placement if you had a blackeye?

If you are not a troll then it is sad that this has become so normal to you that you are making a post about how it would affect your work and not your own health. It is not normal and you should not have to go through it.

Please do something about it now because your life does not need to be like this.

Um, it seems like you're getting concerned over the wrong things? Being drunk isn't an excuse for him to do that to you and you should be questioning your relationship instead of this, I hope you're okay. But if you were to go to work with a visible injury it would definitely raise a lot of questions and would mean that you'd have to take time off placement because it would be making patients uncomfortable with your injury as you have already mentioned.

I understand that it's not normal but he is my partner so I owe my loyalties to him. He's only like this when he drinks too much and I visit him at while he's off it. But I really am passionate about having a career in mental health, and I don't want to get kicked off placement due to it. So I was wondering if in the future, would I be allowed to work with service users or would it be deemed unproffesional

Would this affect my academics? I really want to attend all my future shifts and I don't want them to contact my Uni, and for me to get behind on my work / grades

Unfortunately it would definitely affect your academics, you'd be missing out on core content and experiences along with all the knowledge you'd be missing out on. The way you talk about this issue so naturally makes me think this is a common occurrence and I'm worried for you. As you've mentioned in your other posts you care about your partner, but how far is too far? It might be a black eye for now, but can you guarantee that he won't seriously hurt you in future? Really think about that. How much time are you going to take off to recover and miss out on your education and passion? It feels like you're damaging yourself just to be with him and yeah this'll be bad for your mental health if you keep ending up in these situations because of him, it's also bad for him too in the long run.

Physically, he's never like this when he's sober. So I plan to not visit him him if I'm aware / suspect he's had a drink.

Random update: I’ve started Uni, and me and this boy are officially over. I don’t plan to report him or anything, but I’ve left him and have put all my focus into getting my dream job in mental health
