Makeup
If you wear it, keep it simple and neutral. If you look like
Divine, you’re doing it wrong.
7. Inner wears
Wear it. You’d be amazed how many people don’t, and how easy
it is to tell that they’re not. Please, I spend 12 hours a day with you; I
don’t need to know your deepest, darkest secrets.
8.
Hands and Feet
Take care of them. You only get one pair of feet, and it has
to last you throughout your career. Cute shoes might be a possibility if you’re
lucky; otherwise, skip the cheapo shoes and go for sturdy, supportive footwear.
Your hands, in addition to being clean, should be well-kept.
That means no acrylic nails for women (they’re an infection hazard to both you
and your patients), relatively short nails for both men and women, and
well-maintained cuticles and skin. Cracks and cuts in your hands just ask for
trouble.
9.
Bling
A big no-no. Not only do multiple rings and/or heavy
bracelets and watches catch germs, they’re a ripped glove waiting to happen.
Small earrings or no earrings aren’t only safest, they look best. And multiple
necklaces? No. End of discussion.
10.
Perfume or Aftershave
If you have to wear it, wear one squirt only. A lot of
facilities ban perfumes and scented soaps entirely. Perfumes with range and
striking power are best saved for nights out, not nights on the unit.
