If you didn't lose the joint, yes, you can. Apply pressure directly to the wound, elevate the hand, keep it wrapped in sterile bandages with ice over them.

You can call the hospital triage line for first aid advice and to get someone to help you calm down. Drink fluids, don't panic, and get comfortable.
Yes, it will need stitches. Any cut that bleeds for too long needs to be seeing immediately to avoid infection.
I'm not a medical expert, but my instinct is for you to seek medical attention, especially if you aren't able to stop the bleeding. In the meantime, keep applying pressure with gauze or or some other cloth. Don't take the bloody cloths off, keep applying pressure with new cloths on top of the old ones. Good luck!
no go see a doctor
my sister had the exact same thing happen to her in a doorway

they sewed it back on and it healed itself over time
go see a doctor

get well soon
If it's been bleeding for that long, you need to see a doctor. Go to the emergency room.
I would say 'Yes'. If you can't stop bleeding within minutes, you need medical attention.

If you actually severed the tip of your finger, recover the tip, wrap it in a clean paper towel and bag it in ice. (better yet get someone else to do it).

To staunch the bleeding while you seek medical attention, press a clean dressing onto the finger while elevating it above your head. This will redice blood pressure in the finger.

If you need to drive to hospital, get someone else to drive if at all possible, so that you can keep your and elevated and keep the dressing on.
GO TO THE DOCTOR!

Get off of here and GO!
Are you kidding me? Does the sun circle the earth or does the earth circle the sun? Go to the freakin doctor! It is called tetnas shot, infection, gang green, etc. That is like Jessica Simpson asking is there really chicken of the sea?

And you wonder why the world is the way it is today folks...

If it's bleeding that long put some preacher on it thin go to the ER or the DOC
You must be a guy.

Fingers bleed a lot due to the numerous amounts of capillaries, which aid in the sense of touch.

Capillaries have a lot of surface area but not a lot of volume.

You won't bleed to death. Just wash it and put a band aid on it.

You bleed to death when you hit an artery or vein; both of which have little surface area but high volume.

Tomorrow, the cut will be an innocent flap of skin.
