Kern Medical New Associate Orientation Guide

Fingernails

Must be neatly manicured and of reasonable length (1/8” {3.1 mm} beyond fingertip). Artificial nail enhancements are not to beworn. Nail polish is permitted, but anything applied to natural nails other than polish is considered an enhancement. This includes, but is not limited to, artificial nails, tips, wraps, appliqués, acrylics, gels, and any additional items applied to the nail surface. Unchipped nail polish is not permissible. • Individual departments may institute measures, in addition to those above, to comply with established standards of care in specialty areas.

You can reference the Dress and Grooming Standards Policy HRM-HR-403.00 for more in depth information.
