Keep Your Fingernails Nice

Too many times Ive seen other Nursing Aides with long and or artifical nails. Nails should NOT be long. They also should be real. This is an area of debate, but the Infection Control Nurses of America have a position about artificial nails on nursing staff: Bacteria find a wonderful medium for growth under these nails. Many a patient has been scratched and infected with long unclean nails. It isn’t a matter of looks anymore so much as a matter of safety.
