Mid shift shower.....

NEVER wear pink polka dotted panties under white scrubs!! Didn't yer momma teach you 'no better??? =)

*LOL* very funny story, though.

Wa oh! It must have been pretty embarrassing then but funny now, right?

This was wonderful. Thank you.

HAHA. Oh, at my first CNA job, I had my very own Nellie. I believe in the six months I worked there, she gave me at least 10 showers. It was especially nice that the shower room was positioned so that all guest walking by could HEAR her yelling at you "you're sick! you're a sick pervert! LET ME PUT ON MY CLOTHES AND STOP LOOKING AT ME!" Lol.

That has got to be one of the funniest stories I've heard in a long time. Having a few flashbacks of my own....thanks so much for sharing that. I'll buy your "Whoa Nellie" book! Could probably contribute a chapter or two!!

I myself also had a mid-shift shower - little different than this one. My experience was a few months into nursing school. I worked at a nursing home on the evening shift after school. While helping one of the CNA's shower one of the male patients, I followed her to the room to help her put him to bed. After sitting this poor fellow on the bed, the CNA in her usual fashion yelled "grab the legs" as she proceded to "flip" him into the bed. Just as I reached down to grab his feet, his feet came up and landed on the bed and was instantly soaked on the entire Rt side - face, eye, mouth, neck and chest. I yelled out and the CNA yelled "don't be such a baby, his catheter just came undone". As this wasn't horrifing enough to a germ-a-phobe like myself, I noticed that his catheter had not "come undone". In fat it was a large fluid-filled blister(and by large I mean 13cm x 10cm x 4cm) on his left heel that had ruptured and covered me in slime. I screamed hysterically and instantly began having a panic attack. The CNA yelled for the nurse on duty (who was a new grad) and she proceded to drag me across the hall to the residents shower room. Not only was I stripped and shoved into a cold shower, but it was by my co-workers!!! There was so much goo in my eye and mouth I began vomiting violently. Of course, I'm sure we've all experienced what can happen wen you begin to vomit that hard - it's called "gas". So picture it if you will. I'm naked and vomiting and farting in a cold shower while all of my co-workers stand there in horror not knowing what to do to help me. I was probably the worst night of my life and the worse shower I've ever had! Needless to say-if I'm helping a CNA put someone to bed I always "take the top" and steer clear of the legs.
