A nurse in Russia became a viral sensation after she was photographed wearing only a bra and panties underneath a see-through PPE gown during her shift. Unfortunately for her, however, she is paying the price for her brief internet stardom. The hospital where she is employed suspended this ‘hot’ nurse after seeing the viral photo.
Nurse Wears Only Her Underwear Under See-Through PPE Gown
The New York Post reported that the unidentified nurse works at Tula Regional Clinical Hospital in the Russian city of Tula, which is located 100 miles south of Moscow.
The staffer recently showed up for her usual shift at an all-male coronavirus patient wing with no clothing on aside from her underwear under her transparent personal protective equipment (PPE).

Nurse Says She’s ‘Too Hot’ To Wear More Clothing
The nurse told her managers that she was “too hot” to wear anything besides her underwear underneath her gown, which protects her from COVID-19.
She also claimed that she did not realize that her gown was completely see-through and that her underwear could be seen by all.
Even though there were “no complaints” from her male patients (go figure!), hospital officials still decided to suspend the nurse for “non-compliance with the requirements for medical clothing.”
The regional health ministry also confirmed that “a disciplinary sanction was applied to the nurse of the infectious diseases department who violated [uniform] requirements.”
Though hospital officials initially said the female nurse had been wearing “lingerie,” they later changed this to say her two-piece ensemble could have been a “swimming suit.”

Social Media Rallies Around ‘Hot’ Nurse
Social media users have rushed to the nurse’s defense, arguing that she really didn’t do anything but bring smiles to people’s faces.
“At least someone has a sense of humor in this gloomy, gloomy reality,” one social media user commented, with another adding, “Well done, she raised the mood of the patients.”
“Why punish the nurse? You need to reward her. Seeing this outfit, no one wants to die,” a third user wrote.
With millions of people all over the world struggling with this pandemic, it’s harder than ever to find things to smile about.
Hopefully hospital officials will cut this nurse some slack and give her another chance.
Especially we need our healthcare workers now more than ever – regardless of what they are wearing!
