Keep looking for another career, sweetheart. ';Cuz'; I doubt that anyone wants your long nails up his/her backside, and that's one of the things you ARE going to do as a doctor. At least during your training.





We had a doctor kicked out of a surgery program because she refused to trim her nails. (It's a problem in surgery because the nails can harbor bacteria and increase the risk of post-operative infections.)





How about cosmetology?Docotrs and surgeons do you have to cut your nails or you can keep them?
Not only should you not have long nails for practical medical reasons, when you become a physician you also become part of the upper middle class, in which long nails are considered trashy. You'll also define yourself as a physician, subverting some of the rest of your personality. It takes a considerable amount of dedication. Just the fact that you posted this question makes me think maybe it's the wrong profession for you.
Have you thought about another career? If your nails are really that important to you, medicine is NOT the career for you. The practice of medicine requires sacrifice and dedication. If you don't have it now, then don't sign up for the long haul (save your time and money).
The dress code at my hospital states that finger nails cannot extend beyond the tip of the finger or be longer than 1/4';, which ever is shortest.
