It's not so much the packing but figuring out where to keep my hands so they don't accidently bonk the skin or wound. I'm not the most graceful creature in the land, so this is pretty important for me.

I JUST got my own sterile gloves in the mail that fit right (I get to bring my own to the sim lab with my latex "disabilty"), so that is the biggest help ever rather than those huge gloves I got in my skills kit.
I will chillax, as my girls would say, and remember all my steps instead of cow out about the orientation of the wound if I can move it. I have a box of 50 gloves with only a few that I've practiced with, so I should have enough should I contaminate the wound a bunch of times.
Thanks everyone!
