a love bracelet with the screws will be a pain to put on and take off on a daily basis. can you pull the gloves over the bracelet? if you get the bracelet at the proper size, it will sit fairly close to your wrist so it may be low enough for you to pull the gloves over it. if not, the cuff may seem like the best choice for you though personally, when i tried the cuff on, i thought it was rather painful.
 
Haha obviously exaggerating here what I really meant are aerosols that may contain specs of blood. Sorry that my wording may be confusing. Even with necklaces, the aerosols may apparently spray 6 feet high according to studies.

I also have taught infection control and they say that the amount of bacteria found around sleeves are far greater than bacteria on the chest so that's why I was concerned :( even without blood visually spraying, there would be microbes that are visually undetectable that can get on the sleeves, spray onto the necklaces etc. Anyways word of advice is to not keep toothbrushes nest the toilet as e ery time you flush, the aerosol fromthe toilet may very well spray onto the toothbrush.. :push:


I work in the health care profession too- well over 10 years and have even taught infection control practises.

I don't understand your comment about the blood. Regardless of whether you wear a bracelet or not, if you're getting blood on your wrist, then what type of infection control precautions are you practising?
 
Thanks everyone for the comments!! :) I am definitely leaning towards the cuff version! I don't think I will be able to wear any jewelry because of m occupation but I certainly would want to during weekends! It sounds like I would be screwing on and off the bracelet if I were to get it so yes! Will definitely look into the cuff version!! :) thx for all your input!! :)

I know exactly what you are talkng about here! Definitely get the cuff.
 
I would get the cuff, I have the full bangle & I think if you kept taking it off you could damage it, when I got mine the SA said that you should only take it off when getting it cleaned & its been on my wrist ever since I would be too scared of damaging it.
 
I would guess the cuff also. I'm a nursing student and I find I'm only really wearing my jewelery on the weekends or days when I'm not in labs/clinicals. Even the watch I wear to clinicals, I take off and put in my pocket before I work with patients. I am so paranoid about germs, I don't even wear my wedding band/ring lol.
 
I hear you!!!

cuff it is ! :yahoo:

LOL my DF and I were talking about this the other day. How very disturbing and disgusting. . .

I'm glad you picked the cuff - it seems much more practical for your profession ;)
 
I also work in health care and use gloves often. I've haven't had a problem of regular gloves not covering the bracelet. If your in the OR, surgical gloves go up higher so it shouldn't be a problem.

If you have to take it off, then go for the cuff. The screws would be to much of a pain to take on/off all the time.
