Does anyone have a copy of this lying around? I need to quote it for a paper, but copied it at work and left it...

Oct 5, 2010 I'm just looking for fingernail recommendations.One of the experienced nurses I work with in an ACS wears fake nails, and when confronted about it said fingernail policies apply to patients, not nurses; the only reason not to put anything on nails is it interferes with cap refill (that's right, cap refill, not pulse ox.)We don't have a copy of AORN standards at the ACS, and I don't want to spend the money to buy one right now. My manager asked me to write a blanket statement about fingernail policy and quote AORN Standards...I'm shocked and impressed that you have any copy lying around!
