Zeek, LPN Specializes in Nephrology/Dialysis. Has 40 years experience. 46 Posts Nov 10, 2021 When I started in dialysis in 1985 we wore street clothes and did not use gloves. We held bleeding needle sites with just gauze and frequently had blood on our hands. Even when using a face shield, I have been splashed up under it by a wayward fistula needle - Hep C patient to boot. Never thought a thing about it. Now gloves rip many times putting them on and sometimes have obvious holes or even fingers missing. We've had some fun with that!! 0 Likes
