Are Beards A DO Or DON’T In Nursing?

They’re a DON’T:

I think it’s a DON’T due to falling hair and open wounds. Except for when guys using grooming to keep things in check.
Sheryl Treadwell 

In my hospital males aren’t allowed to have beards because they prevent a proper seal when using N95 respirators.
Lynette Jones

A DON’T. Even if it’s short, it’s still untidy for me. Where are the practices from college days? No beards, no long nails, no nail polish, etc. Aside from looking neat and clean, it reduces the risk of infection. It’s great when men use products to keep the beard neat.
