Are any of you nurses with palmar hyperhidrosis? I have severely and it makes it very difficult to do simple things in nursing...gloves, opening meds, etc. How do you guys do it and do your patients ever react badly to your hands?
I just recently started nursing school and I'm really concerned about my ability to pursue this career. I have a condition called hyperhidrosis which causes severe excessive sweating of my hands and feet, at time my hands drip. It makes touching my peers during assessment and putting on gloves difficult. It has prevented me from pursuing so many things in my life but I've always wanted to be a nurse. Are there any nurses here that have hyperhidrosis and managed to overcome the sweating and have success working as a nurse?
