Working with a cast?

Nurses General Nursing

Anyone ever worked with a cast? I have one on my dominant hand now, but I must work. The only problem I can see is doing wound care-not being able to put on gloves.

Any suggestions?

I broke my hand last year and had to wear a splint...I thought it would be fine considering it wasnt my dominant hand, but ran in to trouble when I had to glove up and worse yet, wash my hands...I wound up taking the time off work until it healed
