**Fingernail policy: Artificial nails are prohibited in all departments providing patient care- refusal to remove nails will lead to termination of contract

** *must be able to circulate in OR In addition to ensuring that our Traveler RNs are able to circulate the ORs, we also need to screen for competency in normal newborn assessments and routine baby care. 

We do have the expectation that these nurses will float to Postpartum on occasion and this requires care of the infant as well as the mom.
