Are there nurses here with HH ? I am a nursing student and very anxious right now as my instructor won't allow me to use gloves in dealing with patient unless they have body fluids . My point is not only I'm protecting my patient about infection and because I want my patient to be comfortable not to feel my sweaty hands as well. Today I felt embarrassed becausey instructor called my mistake confront of all my classmates while I'm practicing head to toe assessment with my partner in the lab and I'm using my gloves. So I told her is wanna protect myself and my patients for possible infection and also I don't want my patient to feel gross because I have sweaty hands. She told me this is unacceptable and maybe I should re consider changing my profession and maybe nursing is not for me. I was really hurt and not able to justify myself anymore I run to the washroom right away and pour out my emotion there. My classmate which is my partner in lab 've afterward and look for me in the washroom she knows I'm really hurt I cried a lot to her. How dare her to tell me to change my career just because I have a sweaty hands. I'm really down right now but at the same time I got a lot of support from my classmates they are very supportive for what I am going through .
