Before the incident

I was looking in the medication cart.

What happened

Stick happened at 0840. There was a fabric container bag in the patient 's medication cart slot. I asked the patients primary RN if they knew why it was in there and they did not know why it was there. I picked up the bag and as I lifted it out of the medication cart I got stuck with something in my left-hand middle finger. There is a needle puncture on the finger. This RN stopped touching the bag. I washed my hands and put a bandage on. I then put on gloves and searched for the bag. I found what appeared to be a sewing needle. The Needle was removed from back. Put in a plastic container and fabric back was placed with the rest of pt belongings. Charge RN notified. House coordinator notified. Paperwork filled out and sent to employee health.
