in response to Sinclair: call yourself an educator? Yet you
don't know that using hand-sanitizer IS considered washing your
hands (warm water and soap are to be used when hands are visibly
soiled). Assessing a wound would not necessarily cause your
hands to become 'visibly soiled' by JCAHO's standards...oh and
PS to you the're spelling it wrong! Don't cry 'foul' unless
you're perfect and obviously you're far from it.  From the CDC
website:   Hand sanitizers are not as effective when hands are
visibly dirty."  I suspect most hospitals have running water and
soap. Hand sanitizers are not a substitute for washing your
hands.
