Yes Diana, I have. HOWEVER, they may choose to wear gloves. Most remove their nails so that they can touch the baby with no gloves. It's a personal choice from what I have experienced with clients. I also have a respiratory nurse client who works in the nic. ~Boy,,,, am I in a hurry.... I'm glad I read over what I wrote,,, since I wrote "they may choose to wear CLOTHES." OMG!!!! Okay... time to finish up those things on my mind. lol lol That MAY have been the biggest "blooper" of all times here. lol lol Big Hugs To Everyone!!!

Wearing enhancements of any type will not increase the germs or bacteria under your nails. It all comes down to basic hand washing, which most do not do and scarily, most don't know how to do properly. I am sure as nail techs, we have all seen people with natural nails with disgusting crud under them. Natural nails do not make a difference. Proper handwashing does.

The baby was born March 31st and she wasn't due until late June. The little thing comes home from the hospital on Monday, her muscles are now working so she can suck and swallow and digest. Anyway the nic unit told mom to remove acrylics, she cannot have polish, zero zilch for awhile. Why? Because the baby has not grown enough skin to prevent contact dermatitis, and other skin diseases and the advice is to take all precautions.
