Most Embarassing Moment

Nurses Humor

Published

Have you had a most embarassing moment at work or when you were in nursing school? I did. It was when I was in nursing school.

I was the oldest student. Went back to school after 35 years as a non-student, Well anyway, being the oldest student in the class, and most of my classmates ranging in age from 18-25, I wasn't included in a lot of the conversations the younger students were having, and truthfully, I didn't want to be in some of them.

Well anyway, I most always ate alone, etc, basically, there were cliques. So always being left out, I had my day at the end of our shift one afternoon.

We all got in the elevator to go change and attend post- conference. As the elevator door closed, one of the strong, silent types emitted from you know where. It wasn't long before that unappetizing odor permeated the entire inner surface of the elevator. I stood there quiet, which I did most of the time anyway, when my classmates began accusing one another of causing the event. All denied, and when I was asked, I replied, "Who, me?" The blame got laid on one of the younger classmates, and I said nothing, but surely was enjoying the moment.

:p

I was in charge of one of my church's women's meetings and near its conclusion, I was standing up front to make some final announcements.

I originally intended to say,"Thank you for your comments" but somehow ended up saying, "Thank you for your condoms!"

Where THAT came from, I have NO IDEA!!:imbar :imbar

I got 1 more to add!

All of these Just happened TONIGHT!!!!

Before my shift began there was a CNA meeting. Most of the CNA's that work with me regularly were present also. The CNA's were volunteering to demonstrate certain things. I volunteered to demonstrate a restraintt for a patient to a wheelchair. One aide vollunteered to sit in the chair, while I tied her in. My back was to the rest of the CNA's that were there. I was having a hard enough time tieing it with everyone watching me, but every time I crouched down to tie it the group would start laughing. I was wondering why everyone was laughing. I heard some one whisper, "I see her underpants!"

Then it accured to me. Stupid me, I wore a BLACK thong with WHITE scrubs. These are the cheap kind of scrub pants that you can see right through them while bent over! Then it also occured to me that I DON"T WEAR WHITE UNDIES EVER! and I wear those pants all the time. I am uncomfortable in granny panties, and I have not yet found a white thong. I cannot wear underpants that have a butt in them because they drive me nuts creeping up the rear. Thongs are already there up the rear, so i don't have to worry about it. I do have white underpants, but they are granny panties, and I WILL NOT WEAR THEM! So there for, everyone has been seeing my butt clearly whenever I wear white scrub pants!!!! GEEEEZ and my tidy whity pants are my favorites too!

Sorry, I guess this was an embarassing moment/vent of underpants.

OOOO I love the thank you for your condoms lol.

Hi I'm the new kid on the site. In my first hospital job, about a hundred years ago, i was emptying the ileo bag of a very nice ca patient. The thing exploded and blew out all over the front of my clean white uniform! The poor guy was SO embarrassed, even more than I was. Thank God for scrubs!

The trick to white pants, T's? Wear beige panties/bras. White will show through too! Heather

P.S. I found out the hard way in high school!

OK, I gotta say that if you can see through your pants, that maybe a thong isn't the best choice, no matter what color it is. Yuck.

That depends on how you look in a thong, though! :)

my most embarassing moment has to be when I was midwife. was getting ready to deliver a baby, and I asked the woman if she wanted her dad in the room while this was happening. I had made the assumption that the elderly man, with cataract glasses, two hearing aids and a walking stick was her father............she was about 24. she looked at me and said 'hes my husband!'. I just wanted to die!!!

funniest.............working in A&E, lady brought in in a coma. was asked to undress her- but in the process of doing so, all these little white things kept falling to the floor and crawling off............she was infested with maggots :eek: the funny bit was that as soon as we realised, every single person working in a&e leapt on to a chair or desk!!!! nurses, doctors- everyone!! was so funny!! ok now I'm itching again!!!

she had a large wound on her thigh- it was her whole thigh and it was just maggot infested! she ended up having the whole lot debrided-once we'd got off the chairs! she also recovered and went home- well sort of because she was homeless and living in Greenwich park! I can still see those maggots!! and its 20yrs ago!!!!!
