1. Clothing
· Clothing will be clean, neat, and in good repair at all times. Clothing shall be coordinated and in good taste.
· Hosiery must be worn at all times with dresses, skirts, skorts, and professional dress shorts. Socks worn with pants must cover the ankle completely. No bare legs, ankles, or feet.
· Shoes must be worn and should be appropriate to the System and to each student’s shadowing area. Shoes, like all other clothing, will be clean, neat, and in good shape at all times.
· Hats are not permitted unless worn outside.
2. Cosmetics, if used, should be worn in moderation.
3. Scented personal products
· Perfumes, after-shave lotions, colognes, and heavily scented personal products are not permitted in patient care areas, and are discouraged in non-patient care areas due to the sensitivity (allergies, illness) of patients and other employees.
4. Hygiene
· Students are to maintain proper hygiene, cleanliness, and appearance, and remain odor-free.
5. Tattoos
· Tattoos shall be covered to the best of one’s ability.
· Any tattoo that cannot be covered shall be conservative and not offensive.
