cdc's opinion of nailpolish on nurses?
368547
As far as I know, the CDC has no recommendation....however, most places of employment will frown upon nail polish.  In the nursing world, nails are to be kept short, filed neatly and natural.

No offense, but I think that nurses need to see.  There are unfortunately some things you won't be able to do like be a nurse, or a firefighter, or a bus driver...

I have never heard that and I worked in the hospital. Nurses tell doctor's what to do...not likely

Some people really dont have much idea!  There are people here with knowledge and I have seen a couple of "doctors" (if they really are is questionable! lol).  I know a fair bit from many years of nursing and will often give an opinion and tell the person to get medical advice.  As do many others! \nI agree that many of the people need to get off their PCs and visit the doctor!!!

I don't know if you could say that they are IN or OUT. I think it's just a matter of taste. Some people like them and some people don't. I personally like them as long as they don't look tacky or cheap. I always get my nails done, but I don't like them very long or the wild colors. I've seen a lot of women who get them obscenely long...makes me wonder how they wipe their a**.

If -- by "sterilized" -- you are referring to a woman having her tubes tied, it's a fairly minimal procedure.  I had mine done at a hospital as day-surgery.  I was off-work that one day, of course, but then went back to work the next day.  I don't recall feeling "puny" or anything.  None of my co-workers even knew that I had had it done.

NO! ABSOLUTELY NOT.. reaserch shows the chemichals inhaled while getting your nails done have caused birth defects in unborn and born children. there are reasons why the nail salon workers wear the masks to cover the face and mouth.

I don't mind.  I might feel a bit self-conscious if they're not pedicured, but if my toenails are clipped and neat-looking, I wouldn't mind.

I remember the day when hospitals were filled with good, professional nurses. No problem.  Now a days the hospitals I know are starving for good nurses.  They sometimes have to hire out to agencies, and believe me, some of these people are not up to snuff!  I have also noticed that the real good nurses go on to bigger things and leave what they were trained for.  I've been a patient at a hospital on numerous occasions.  I can spot a good one a mile away.  I can also spot an aide who is way out of her league, a mile away.  Study hard, listen in class.  Get ready for a rewarding job that will most likely pay your bills VERY nicely. " Good night nurse!!" An old time expression meaning " Holy cow!"

I'm in nursing and I've heard nurses say things they definately shouldn't say, and then I've seen some be very descreet. I live in a small town so I make it my business to be in nobody's business, but if at any time you feel your confidentiality has been violated you can phone the hospital administrator or talk to a lawyer.

Nail biters and my boss! x

These people drive me crazy. They say that a happy employee is a productive employee. I am not a smiley either. I have had this problem in the past. Can u voice your opinion anywhere in your record ? One place I worked had a place where I could make a statement on the written evaluation. If your union file a grievance. I don't smile all the time because I am self conscious about my smile. My front teeth aren't straight, but no one should have to explain that to their boss to get a raise, when they are doing their job, If your doing your job properly it shouldn't matter what facial expression you are wearing unless you are scaring people. Now If you are customer service in a face to face setting I can see the point. But not in a factory.

I am not exactly sure what you are asking, as that isn't a full sentence--but I will try to give some input.  \n\nJust the other day on the news they were discussing the current crisis in the medical field because of the drastic shortage of Nurses.  One hospital personnel director said she could easily hire 100 nurses for their hospital alone, because they were so short.  Nurses are feeling the strain of this by having to cover more patients then what they should.  This passes a danger on to the patients that they are not getting the full attention that they should.\n\nFurther complicating this situation is that there aren't enough Professors of Nursing available, because the colleges cannot pay comparable wages to what the hospitals supposedly can--to be able to teach the number of students wanting to go to Nursing School. It is a terrible situation and with the impending threat of Bird Flu, I fear that the medical world is going to be knocked on it's bottom.  I only wish I could have finished my BSN.  Hope that helps with what you were asking.  GL
