The unnamed medic in her 20s said she was 'too hot' wearing her nurses' uniform under the gown.
She told her managers at Tula Regional Clinical Hospital that she did not realise the PPE she wore when treating coronavirus patients was so transparent.
Despite this, the regional health ministry reported that 'a disciplinary sanction was applied to the nurse of the infectious diseases department who violated (uniform) requirements'.
Her chiefs at first said the woman was wearing 'lingerie' but later claimed she had a 'swimming suit' beneath the gown.
The nurse has not spoken publicly on the incident and the exact details of the discplinary action were not revealed.
One patient said there was no objection from men in the coronavirus ward while admitting there was 'some embarrassment'.
A reader of local newspaper Tula News congratulated the nurse. 'At least someone has a sense of humour in this gloomy, gloomy reality,' said Sergey Ratnikov.
'Why the reprimand?' asked Albert Kuzminov.
