Wrap a pad of guaze around it & tape it up. There are tons of capillaries in your fingers, so any wounds there tend to bleed a lot.

Is it a cut or a puncture? Hold your hand above your head and apply as much pressure as possible. I don't even think they will give someone one stitch, they'll just glue it up.

some things you can apply to the wound:
cold water or ice, helps to constrict blood vessels and reduce bleeding vaseline, blocks blood flow and promotes clotting white vinegar, astringent properties pepper powder, obviously very painful but quickly stops bleeding
some things you can physically do:
lie down, lower heart rate and blood pressure elevate wound above the heart, lower blood pressure in the area around wound apply firm pressure to wound, blocks blood flow and promotes clotting
source? fuck hospitals, i like DIY healthcare

There is clotting powder you can apply to it which will effectively clot the cut for you. I'm sure you can find it at nearly any pharmacy. The one I have is a beige off white powder in a small plastic vial. I can't count how many times this stuff has come in handy. One time I cut my finger with a hedge trimmer pretty good. The cut probably would have required stitches but I just put that powder on it then when the powder formed a clot I removed the excess powder and then put a butterfly bandaid on it to hold the cut together, then put a bandaid over that with some neosporin ointment and let it heal like you would any other cut.

sugar, cornstarch, even spiderwebs, can also perform that exact function--should rp not desire a walk to his nearest pharmacy
just yea, make sure to clean out the wound after the bleeding has stopped

I hope you grabbed a needle and thread and took the appropriate course of action. Clean it with 110 proof whiskey, first.
