Alright, as nurses we are exposed to a LOT of humorous situations (especially all you ER nurses). Maybe it's a funny joke or encounter with a patient, family member, or fellow coworker. I'm sure you guys have some great ones. While maintaining confidentiality/patient privacy, let's hear 'em!
Once I was walking to the side of an older gentleman who was being wheeled down a quiet hallway. The resident was wearing a gown with a blanket spread out over his legs. There were a couple people walking towards us, and several other nurses at the nurses station. It was a nice quiet night. However, the tranquility was shattered in a brief moment when he yelled out with a very feeble and bemoaning cry, "Jesus Christ, I'm indecent!" This of course sent everyone within ear shot into a fright. His lower half was exposed. It turned out, as he was being wheeled along, his blanket became caught in the spokes of the wheelchair essentially flashing anyone in sight. Thankfully there were just staff there at the time.
