Would you marry any medical professional

Nurses General Nursing

Published

They have that other thread some where, Would you marry a Doctor. Well I am asking would you marry another medical professional. Whether it an RN, a tech, a aide, an RT, An Xray or CT tech, or a US tech, or a paramedic or a pharmacist, or a paramedic.Or anyone else in the Medical or nursing or ancillary positions.

My answer is no. When I leave work. I leave work at the door. I dont ever want to discuss it at home or with a loved one. I dont even associate with other nurses. Except at out annual Golf Tournament. But then I am also 46 and I have not married yet. Nor do I ever want to. My life is perfect as is.

haha! When a woman breaks it off with a man, there is always a long story with details and whys and if onlys, a complete post-game. When you ask the guy, its always, "I'unno, she just went all crazy one day!" hahaha!

If the person and I are a great mix, sure I would. I met my husband at my job, but he does not work in nursing...we have peace officers that work for our corporation. I used to work in psych ER as an aide, and first laid eyes on my husband to be when he came into our area to sign off on his officer's logbooks. I remember looking at him and saying to myself "Damn, that is one handsome man!". The feeling was mutual, he was attracted to me as well, but it took close to two years because we were both still involved with someone else and were not the type to cheat. My husband is perfect to me in every way (well, not everything...:D), but we are very compatible in the ways that count the most. The advantage is that we do work for the same place, but not in the same department or shift, so, we have very interesting talks when we are home together because we see things from different perspectives. Leads to lively conversations and debates.

Another positive side of it is that his sister is an RN, an administrator at one of our sister hospitals, so, when I attended nursing school, he was very familiar with the drill, knew when to stay out of my way and was extremely supportive. Heaven forbid if something were to happen where I was single again, the next guy would have very heavy shoes to fill and I doubt it would be easy.

OT: A man saying "We grew apart" is code for "I treated my wife like crap the whole time we were married, and am totally clueless as to why she left me."

Feel free to disagree with me.

I would find it very hard to disagree with you, actually...:D:smokin:

Now, if a man goes into a little more detail, even if it's "My ex-wife and I turned out to be incompatible, and we made a mutual decision to separate" then you can give him the benefit of the doubt.

I agree with you. A good fit is a good fit. I would not turn a potential mate away due to a common profession. In fact, I changed my rule about dating co-workers and now, I have been married close to 10 years to my soul mate. When I first started getting serious about my husband while dating, I ~knew~ he was 'the one' and have no regrets. Had he been a nurse, PA, physician, NP, whatever, I still would have loved him and taken him as my lawfully wedded husband.:redbeathe

What a person does for a living would not figure into whether or not I would want them in my life. Compatibilty, understanding, that initial heart throb happens when it happens.

My only rule has been, can't be a former of a friend, can not be currently married, cannot be working on my unit.
