"Please don't discourage me!"

[Emery]

Today while I was volunteering at the hospital, one of the male nurses came up to me and told me that I don't want to be a nurse! He said that I would have to take a bunch of !@#$ from men who aren't my husband. I'm already not that great in school and if you tell me that this is something that I don't want to do, then I might not even try! But nursing is something that I have wanted to do for a long time and I love just being at the hospital (my family thinks I'm crazy!:)) . Why would this nurse say something like that to me? It seems that nurses are very short these days and they would want to encourage all the help that they can get...

I just thought it was a little strange. *sigh*

Okay Kristi, that is pretty sad flirting material...

LOL I think Kristi has a point... Sounds like what he wanted to hear was, "Well, I don't have a husband..."

As hamhanded as that might sound, trust me when I say I have heard worse attempts. :)

Don't let it get you down. Listen to yourself. After all, you're to only one who knows what's right for you.

LOL Kristi!! Well, if that IS what he was doing, there is no chance; he's probably 40+ years older than me! :-) *shrug* Strange people these days

HA! 40+ years doesn't matter to some! I had a 53 y.o. nurse during my psych clinical flirting with me hard core. Granted, that's only 30 years my senior and not 40, but still! Haha and I looked young for my age, coulda passed for about 18. Guess he looked right past the diamond-I'm-taken-ring on my finger.
