School Policy on Hair/Nails/Jewelry/Make-up?

[Rosa2Little]

What is your school's policy, and is it strictly followed? I had blood work done recently, and although the hospital's policy was noted on the wall, the person who took my blood had long false nails with a rhinestone chip embedded in the tip. It made me look around, and it didn't seem that she was the exception to the rule. What's the deal with that??!

Gosh, my student uniform-pin striped dress, 12 inches off the floor, starched collar, cuffs, bib and apron, plus cap, no make-up. tiny stud earings, watch with second hand, no hair on collar, white stockings, shoes, full slip. AMedia was great for writing notes and vitals on. 1964-67 :wink2:

I loved that Apron too, probably because it was WHITE!!! Couldnt wait to be in all White. To this day, I love starch. I lived in NYC when practicing and had the advantage of the wonderful Chinese laundries for my uniforms and caps. Just perfect!

I remember having to scrub my cap, then put it in a solution of starch. Then slap it on to the mirror and wait for it to dry :rotfl: At HVCC we had perma-starched caps. I still have one of my old caps and ribbon. :)

I'm loving this visual about the caps drying on the mirror. Never heard of a permastarch. Heres a Q for you: Do you recall when they went to what was called a "state Cap", it was a ruffled cupcake thing, I think. I really loved my traditional wing-span cherry Ames cap with the black velvet stripe

Yep. BSH had it's own cap. when folded, it looked like a winged bird in flight. HVCC had a black stripe which lie on lace that peeked out either side. I had my cape for years and years, until the Florida moths ate it :angryfire

:rotfl: Are we attending the same school?? My school is exactly the same way. If you aren't following these rules, you're sent home with a U for unprepared for clinical and it counts as an absense. More than 2 clinical absesnes are high risk for failing the entire semester.
