Dude, they are called roach clips.
When it grows out, you may have trouble with nail growing into end of your toe. You can tuck cotton under it, or use a piece of tape to pull it down.
I am a total puss when it comes to getting shots, faint, puke, the whole magilla. Was pretty worried about it until a nurse told me I would probably be really good at giving shots, and you don't get the whole sweaty-fainty-pukey thing if you are on the right end of the needle it turns out.
I had a general surgeon friend who was putting a port a cath, deal for chemo-therapy they implant in your chest and hook up to large artery. Patient wanted toe nail fixed at the same time, so she would sleep through getting the toe done. Rich did his thing, was looking over my shoulder when I was doing mine. He says, "Dude, that is nasty." The nurse laughed and said, "Doctor, you just cut open her chest and stuck in a stainless steel hockey puck, and the toe nail bothers you?"
Something about pulling off a toenail freaks people out a little.
