According to CDC's (Center for Disease Control) recommendation, hands should be washed vigorously for at least 15 seconds covering all surfaces of the hands and fingers. Then rinse and dry with a disposable towel. Turn off the faucet with the towel. They have other recommendations for hand hygiene depending upon the nurse's activities.

How often should you bathe a newborn?

I asked this question a ton, and got 500 different answers. But the one I got I trusted. My pediatrician and long time family doctor says "They don't really get dirty, hunny". Bathing twice weekly is sufficient until they learn how to get dirty. However, every day you should spot clean. Take a warm wet washcloth and clean their face and neck (it does get dirty from formula leakage), clean their diaper area (you know why that gets dirty), and clean their hands (some newborns suck on their hands- therefore covering them in formula as well).
