Hello.. student nurse here. I know I am on the wrong board but I figured if anybody has tips on the matter it would be actual nurses! I'm sure many have this problem.. in the winter months my hands get very dry and crack. I am going to start putting lotion on them every night to try and keep the condition at bay but what are some tips form a nurse to prevent this? What do you do when it happens? Having cracked hands all day and working with patients that could potentially have blood-transmitted diseases is a big no-no. What to do? Thank you so much!
