A British campaign (Wipe It Out: RCA Campaign on MRSA) is trying to change the behavior of nurses who wear their uniforms out in the public since it may promote the spread of disease. Could the nursing image also benefit from nurses not wearing their uniforms while outside a professional setting?

It is taught that artificial nails, long nails, and nail polish contribute to the spread of infections. Do you think that these embelishments can be safe and hygienic? Do they detract or add to the professional image?
