I am a relatively new nurse, so I think I am probably just over reacting, but I need some reassurance. Last week, I accidentally touched some medical
equipment in the ER that I assumed had been disinfected, when I looked closer it still had blood on it that was wet. I immediately washed my hands. Afterwards, I examined my hands very thorougly. The only nonintact area that I saw was on my index finger, and it appeared to have been an abrasion from days ago that was healing.
