Article about Artificial nails

For anyone with nails, this is a good article from Medscape. Of course, each facility has their own guidelines.

What Are the Current Guidelines About Wearing Artificial Nails and Nail Polish in the Healthcare Setting?

Re: Article about Artificial nails

I'm glad we aren't allowed to wear artificial nails in our facility. I think they are just a breeding ground for bacteria. I wouldn't want someone changing my dressings or doing my care with those nails on. You never know what's under there.

I hear that! I had 'em for under two months...kept popping off, and being a general nuisance.
