It is tricky and takes practice. Try this, rub the cuff of the first glove together between your fingers to loosen it up before putting your fingers in (this part will be next to your hand and non sterile so OK to touch it like this). Try to get your fingers in the right postion but don't panic if you don't, you can get them right once you have both gloves on.

Now rub the second glove with the sterile thumb and fingers of the other hand to loosen it up before slipping your fingers under the cuff and inserting your other hand. Once you have repositioned the other cuff you can realign your fingers if necessary. I have been doing this for years and still sometimes it is tricky. When you are learning it is sometimes good to go with a slightly larger size. Keep practicing. all the best

Sepisepsep is correct, sterility is a concept only. As soon as a sterile packet is opened it is contaminated no matter what you do. The goal is to minimise contamination.

I did not forget about the ring I wore FlaShukuNing If you look you will see that the ring will not come off. It is my wedding band. I am very careful with hand washing and clean under and around the ring but other that chopping off my finger or having the ring cut off there is nothing else I can do about this. Having been a nurse and midwife for 35 years, it is permissible to wear a simple gold band, nothing else.

Could you be more specific Keshia017? Explain when and how this is a horrible technique and the gloves are contaminated?

@0206jhuna I think is doesnt matter the first is improper cos she can adjust it after insert the second glove. That what I think.

@maverickcj I think she is right. The sterile field is not break coz inside the paper is still sterile field. She was already break the sterile field when she open up the paper for the first time when her hand touch the table.

[maverickcj]

Sterile field was broken when she picked up the second glove!!! The ungloved hand should only touch the part of the paper where the folds are, which is considered your one inch border. When she picked up the second glove, she put her ungloved hand on the paper, breaking sterile field!!!!

I am confused, who is Don Gloves? Kidding, I wish they had you tube when I was going through nursing school. My advise is to find your gloves size and remeber it. Try to remeber the size of the Docs you work with too...they like it when you bring them the right size. I am an 8 1/2...yes, I am male :)

[0206jhuna]

the first glove inserted is improper.. look!
