What's the craziest getup you've ever seen?

[xtxrn, ASN, RN]

Saw an older gent visitor in hot pants stride through the hallway en route to....

somewhere hilarious, undoubtedly.

We all just at each other in disbelief.

Not Richard Simmons, was it? Oh- forget that... HIPAA, and all

Yes, a pink tutu, and I can't describe him more than that.

It would be painfully obvious to those who know him.

Very interesting case, indeed.

Issues, my friends, issues.

My first day as a CNA- I worked for an agency, and was going to work weekend days at a nice nursing home (heavy on the dementia). I had to report to a locked floor...meeting me at the elevator was an old lady- waiting for the elevator fully dressed- but in the wrong order- bra and undies over her coat. She was quite ticked that I wouldn't let her on the elevator....I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do with her, but turning her loose didn't seem to be a wise choice! Now, that wouldn't phase me- yeah I'd notice, but it'd be like "oh, hey Gertrude- warm enough?"....

After seeing this inside out resident, I got my assignment- an entire hall (short hall- but until then, I'd had 2 patients in school...). And, I was told, baths were to be done before breakfast (i think there were 12 residents)...I got there at 6 am....breakfast was at 8...time to get moving I was sweating like an oil rig worker in the desert when I rolled the last one into the dining room.... one of the nurses asked me where in the world I'd been. I was confused- she'd given me the assignment- where did she think I'd been. I told her i'd been giving baths. She asked who got baths....again- I'm confused..I told her all of them....She laughed. Nobody told me that there were assigned bath days.... They didn't get full showers, but everybody had a full basin of water, body wash, and clean clothes. :)

When I was with my daughter at the ER I did see a pair of very see thru leggings being utilized as pants with a very short shirt. Yes everyone could see the lovely thong that this woman had on under her leggings which she was using as pants...

Leggings are not pants, and if you intend them to be, please wear a long shirt or make them opaque.

Thank goodness she was wearing some sort of underwear

I've wondered what makes people think that others really want to see so much of them...

This is non-nursing related:

A man dressed as superman.

I kid you not right down to the blue spandex pants.

He was at an atm in the middle of March.

That image is burned into my retinas...and not in a good way.

Here's another one for you all.

An 88 year old woman in a skimpy yellow bathing suit mowing her lawn.

A man came into the ER covered from head to toe in dried poop!

I cannot describe the smell and somebody sat him next to a fan!

We all never laughed so much in our lives as we bartered amongst ourselves in a back room, deciding who was going to take patient he who was going to go and clean him up.

Oy....I'd be hunting down the genius who thought airing the guy out was a good idea

Picture this: 1) my first assisted living job sitting in my mini office when I hear a thud-swoosh sound 2) look down the hall and see a lol approaching me with 1 house slipper on and 1 platform 4-5" heel on. The sound was her stomping down on the heel and the swoosh was her dragging the slipper behind her. The rest of the ensemble consisted of 3 nightgowns, 2 pairs of pj bottoms, a trenchcoat, a pink feather boa and 3 hats. Oh yes, lets not forget so much costume and real jewelry on that it was pulling her head forward.....including multiple pairs of clip on earrings on each ear and rings stacked so deep on her fingers they were unable to bend.

Working at a metro jail on Halloween night when the cops escorted in the worlds biggest condom.....with a cut out for the face and two scrawny hairy legs sticking out of the bottom. Seems Mr Trojan Man was head butting his fellow revelers screaming I'm coming!
