This is a 'sterile' dressing change?

[09NewGrad]

I'm still on orientation as a new nurse and on the surgical unit we frequently do dressing changes. When I was in nursing school and we did sterile dressing changes, we used an entire kit that was sterile. My preceptor has been having me take off the old dressing with clean gloves which I'm used to, and then she has me put on sterile gloves to apply the xeroform and regular 4x8's not from a sterile kit. Is this unusual for a sterile drsg change? I thought the gauze and xeroform all needed to be from a sterile kit, not just the gloves?

I don't like the prepackaged kits. Every situation is different and I prefer to get what I actually need and not have to sort it out. In addition, most of the kits come with size 7 gloves. I need size 9 at least.
