for those who it ended nicely it can be wonderful because they understand what you are going though when you come home physically and mentally exhausted.

BUT: for the ones that end badly it can be rough facing an x every morning exp if one is happier about the split than the other...if you feel that is right for you go for it..special people do not come around every day...but be careful with your heart

NO,thanks. Married nearly 16 years to a NON nurse, NON MD and lovin it.

Never have believed in dating co-workers for all the listed reasons. I married a person not related to the healthcare field. That didn't work any better than some who marry within the same field.

I could never find a boyfriend on my own. Some women attract men, I repel them. They see me coming and go the other way. I'm the big fat ugly nurse that the cute littel nurses who are being harrassed by some dirty old man run and get to protect them. I come in the room and the party is over for these old perverts, it's better than a cold shower.

This is exactaly on point, to have a relationship go sour is bad enough. To have one go sour and then have to face the person 10 times a day is extremely nerving to say the least. I tried dating a co worker a few years back. To make a long story short I broke up with her and the next day my back tires were flat. I never did find out who was responsible but I saw her the very next day and she had the biggest smile on her face.

I met my wife when we both worked in the ED. We were married one year later, and I am so glad I pestered her into going out with me!
We are the lucky ones. I have known other people who dated a coworker. When they split, one of them had to leave and it made for VERY hard feelings.

ok heres my story.. i moved to a different state and started working at this hospital. one of the nurses there keep telling me i looked familiar.. i thought he was trying to hit on me. well come to find out he saw me at a bar like 3 yrs ago from the state i moved from.. we became really good friends for a yr and then our true feelings took over. we worked together and have been together for 2yrs. we work in the same unit but i cant work the same days as him or i would kill him as long as we dont work the same days we are fine. both of us being nurses helps to understand why that person might be having a poopy day. what i love the most about our relationship is that we have so much strenght for the each other that it really helps to have a good cheerleader after a fight with a doc!! thanks for the replies..

I've dated co-workers all the time in my 14 years in the hospital setting.

The memories....

[hypnotic_nurse]

The only guys where I work are either married surgeons, married residents, married patients...or a few single very young men pediatric patients ...So the whole dating at work thing is OUT!
