GCF

I work RN ICU And float Nursing and I have worked in over 12 hospitals in 20 years of nursing. It seems to be more common for hospitals to require their nursi g staff to wera gloves with every patient every time like its part of standard precautions. I say this is wasteful and impersonal. The best practice "if its wet or sticky and not yours, then wear g loves. If a Nurse is just going in the room to check vitals or adjust an IV pump. then wearing gloves is wasteful. sanitizing and or washing hands between patients is sufficient. I wood challenge any of you nurses out there who can find empirical data or as study that prooves wearing gloves everytime with every patient actually reduced infections?
