Do you "dudes" get together after work for a beer?

Hey everyone, this is mainly a question for the guys.

I'm a male, and going into nursing, nothing will change my mind about that, but I just have a little question that I've always wondered about.

I'm the type of person that's pretty social, I like to hang out with new people and socialize a lot. So, my question is, do the guys you work with go out for beers, hang out, do stuff like that?

I don't think I could stand working ALL DAY with all the ESTROGEN! My girlfriend is all I can handle!

I like to get to know the people I work with, and am hoping that some of the younger male nurses like to just hang out and have a drink every once in a while, and yes, im also wondering if the females come as well!

I like to work in healthy, friendly atmospheres, where everyone gets along. After reading some of the posts around here, I get the impression that most of the time it's women who are CRANKY and want to CUT EACH OTHERS THROATS, but I NEVER hear about how any of the guys treat each other.

So...if anyone has anything to say, I'd really appreciate it. Just asking, because in my current job, EVERYONE likes to get together every once in a while, guys and girls, and just chill out.

thanks!

I think sjoe was cracking on the "all day with estrogen" statement. Don't worry DMR ... once you get in your groove - you will PMS along with the rest of us. LOL

Some of my co-workers and I occassionally go out (most are married) but its a good outlet and we have a great time. We go to a local bar, get tipsy and think we can dance. There are two guys in this group. One is gay and one is straight - so generally we dance with one and rate other guys butts with the other.

Maybe it's just me, but after being with my co-workers all day long, the last thing I want to do after work is spend more time with them. Don't get me wrong, I get along with everyone, but I usually separate the people I know at work from the people I'm friends with outside of work.
