Hi Brenda,
I would love to have someone to talk to about this. I
feel so in the dark, and it looks like i'm gonna be
the pioneer for this fight in my area. I'm the first
for this (so they say).
I live in Canada, Nova Scotia to be exact. That's
where i run into difficulty b/c there's not much info
on this allergy here, unless it's topical... mine's by
inhalation.
Every floor had multiple boxes of these gloves. Every
floor has it's own stock room containing them also.
When i found out i had a +3 allergy, i notified
"everyone" i was supposed to (including WCB).
They provided me with the light green non latex/powder
free gloves, but as long as everyone else used the
others around me it didn't make a difference. Once it
was airborne.....
Like i mentioned above, i would greatly appreciate
corresponding with you. They're sending me for a
Permanent Medical Impairment Assessment on June 1. I
dunno how they plan on doing that, and i'm worried.
Thank you for your reply. Hopefully i can also figure
out if other complaints i have are related to this.
Looking forward,
Melissa

<P>Hi, My name is Brenda, and I am an RN also.
About a year and one-half ago I started getting sick
at work also. Does all the units that you work
on use powdered gloves? Will the hospital that
you work at not purchase Nitrile gloves for you?
Where are you? What state?</P>
<P>I am very interested in talking with you. It
seems we have a lot in common. This is a scary
thing, and very difficult to deal with. I
usually do not speak with anyone about this but I can
understand your concerns...Let me know if you would
like to continue communication with me about
this. </P>
