|
Policy:
Students are required to dress appropriately during the training program, per the defined guidelines listed below for both the classroom and clinical portions of the program.
Purpose:
To clearly define the dress requirements and expectations for students participating in the Nursing Assistant training program.
Procedure:
- During the classroom phase of the program, students may wear casual attire as long as it meets the following guidelines:
- Slacks or jeans must be worn to rather than skirts or dresses to accommodate the need for practicing skills.
- Sleeveless tops are not allowed.
- All clothing must be free from holes or torn seams.
- Midriffs are to be covered and shirts/blouses are to cover cleavage and armpits.
- Pants with a deeply sagging crotch are not allowed.
- If desired, students may wear scrubs for the classroom/lab portion of the program.
- Dress requirements for the clinical phase:
- Scrubs must be worn for the clinical portion of the program.
- Colors and styles may vary, but scrubs must cover the torso and legs, must not be low-cut (cleavage must be covered), and must have a professional look.
- Long hair must be tied back or pinned up.
- Fingernails must be trimmed. (Long nails or artificial nails are not conducive to performing patient care.)
- Students are to appear neat, clean and odor free. The use of perfume is discouraged and the use of makeup should be moderate.
- Appropriate undergarments must be worn with white pants/skirts to ensure that profession appearance is maintained. Colored or printed undergarments at times will show through white uniforms.
- Facial hair must be neatly trimmed.
- Jewelry, if worn, must be minimal. No dangling jewelry will be allowed.
