Why would you wear low rise jeans....

Published

I had cpr class last night. About 30% of the class wore low rise jeans. That meant everytime they had to bend over and practice cpr, I had to look at their butt cracks :no:. Its hard to look away because you constantly want to watch what their doing.... It drove me crazy!!!!!

So to those of you planning to take cpr class soon, please... please.... no low rise. ok. Great.

Ok vent over.

Not to quibble, but plenty of large chain retailers sell "long and lean" tanks. Also many are following the trend of draping, loose shirts. Belly-baring shirts are actually somewhat passé, IMO. Check yer local Old Navy or Target.

I'm fun-sized so I can offer no help for those 6'-ers, except for checking ONLINE!!

even if i were the right age, i'd be miserable in low rise jeans because i'm sooo long waisted. i'd get arrested for indecent exposure and our paper puts your age in when you make the police report column!!

this subjuct reminds me of a very sweet, very nice, very very helpful man who was head of the ot department. he was probably mid-fifties (which looked old back then), weighed about 400# and wore white boxers with great big cabbage roses on them under his whites. :eek: the color of the roses changed from day to day. talk about distracting! i learned more from milton than i ever ever realized at the time.

i don't know why, but i find that kind of endearing.

I was in a room with a 75 yr male patient when another tech came in to help me. She bent over to pick something up and exposed thong and lower back tattoo. So the patient having had an eyeful looks at me deadpan and says

"its amazing what you see when you're out without your gun"

I nearly lost the plot completely. It was all I could do to get through the transfer.

You are right, people are finally catching on to the idea of longer shirts. Old Navy (online), and American Eagle are both great places for longer shirts. I really try to avoid buying shirts unless they are long, otherwise one time in the dryer and they are ruined. And my husband in 6'5" so we don't enjoy shopping much in our household :o

I spent all last semester trying to avoid looking at the thong of the girl who sat in front of me. Luckily I never had clinicals with her because if her thong hung out just sitting in class I can only imagine what hung out when she was bending over transferring a patient

:yeah:

no kidding. i reckon that this idea of "is what i am wearing appropriate?" isn't even a blip on some people's radar. also, one wonders about the impact this has on the reps of nurses in general. i haven't ever seen a doctor showing their crack, dark undies under scrubs, thongs sticking over their waistband etc.

then again i haven't seen any doctors with six earrings in their ears, lip/tongue piercings and so on either.

i could go on and on.

while i totally agree with you that the idea of questioning the appropriateness of their wardrobe choices isn't even on the radar of some people, i have seen physicians wearing 13 earrings (on one ear), tongue piercings, thongs hanging out of rolled down scrubs, cracks showing, boobs showing, wearing flip flops, mumus, athletic shorts, athletic shorts with the member hanging out, sundresses, and one memorable nephrologist wearing purple harem pants, jewelled flip flops and a halter top. but she had a lab coat over it.

Well thanks a lot people. This thread must be working because I saw none of this at my CPR class. I second the notion that this thread be removed so maybe next year will be better. lol and j/k

When I was in MA school, we had a standing announcment on test/casual days: "Cover all B's-boobs, bellies, & butts". You would think that's a given with adults-but no. You have to remind these people. :icon_roll
