Not so much as you'd notice unless you were really observant. I maintain them, as well as my left-hand nails, immaculately.<BR/><BR/>No rings. I'm afraid they'd get germy. That's too bad, because I would be very proud to wear my wedding-band.shrimplatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08347542266047278227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833607.post-36259367010593918712009-02-20T03:13:00.000-08:002009-02-20T03:13:00.000-08:00Our micro department came by unannounced one day a...Our micro department came by unannounced one day and swabbed things.

We have a brutal infection control nurse who will send your ass home until the nails are gone. Without pay.

Our school policy was short with no polish (unless it's clear.)<BR/><BR/>I chop my nails (much to my pedicurist's chagrin...since I won't spend for a no-manicure buffing!), keep them clean, and unpolished. <BR/><BR/>I won't get a manicure unless I'm on vacation, and besides, mine never last for more than 4 days anyway.RehabNursehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02695247141022093754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833607.post-58432182021216121542009-02-16T18:08:00.000-08:002009-02-16T18:08:00.000-08:00Glory BE!I mean... c'mon we ALL know what wonderfu...Glory BE!<BR/>I mean... c'mon we ALL know what wonderful micro-organisms love to hang out underneath those nails.<BR/>EEwww...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833607.post-64525454772028619672009-02-16T06:55:00.000-08:002009-02-16T06:55:00.000-08:00EW!!!

I mean, sure, you are wearing gloves while delving into that MRSA filled cavern on the guy's leg, but whoa, even after you wash your hands, there are countless cracks, crevices, and crannies for all kinds of happy critters to make a home.<BR/><BR/>There is one nurse whose nails are so long that she frequently "pops" the end of the gloves and has to change again. Even after countless "coachings" by our nurse manager, she continues to drag those talons all over the unit.<BR/><BR/>~shudders~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
