glove allergy

[sherone]

Hello, I am a student nurse in the UK with a type 4 latex and natural rubber latex allergy (carba mix and thiuram mix). Does any one have the same allergy as me? I have been told I shouldn't be a nurse due to my allergy, but this is all I have ever wanted to do. Leaving this course doesn't even come into the equation for me. Does anyone else know what gloves may be suitable or anyone with the same allergy?

I was wearing vinyl gloves for clinical placement however they do not offer adequate protection against blood Bourne viruses.

Thank you all,

Sherone

Yeah over here we have the disabilty descrimation act and the equality act. Each time I'm banging my head against a wall. There must be a suitable glove out there for me as one day I'll be a patient. Does anyone in the USA have the name of the company that supplies medical grade vinyl? Surely if the vinyl are suitable in the USA they would be suitable in another trust in the UK. Probably really naive of me but I have even said I am prepared to take a risk to my own health in order to be able to qualify in 2016.

Sorry, none of the hospitals near me use Vinyl, just Nitrile latex-free. We have latex and non-latex sterile gloves.

The brand my hospital is currently using for non-sterile gloves is PremierPro Plus. They look like this:

They can be found online. We've used the purple (above) and are using the blue ones now(5042 for small; they are thicker).

McKesson, Kimberly Clark, and Dynex are other brands. They may have Vinyl options.

I found vinyl gloves made by Ansell. They claim that they are medical quality.
