Hiv does not survive long on intact for human skin for more than an hour. Nurses wash their hands or sterilize them before and after a procedure. so your chances getting any thing from her are nil.

No, HIV transmission is not possible in above described scenario. Check cdc.gov for reliable information regarding HIV transmission.
