Hospital Romances

[2bnursejacksonrn]

I just wanted to ask. Ive been watching Grey's Anatomy, Mercy, and Hawthorne and I want to know: Just how real is it that there are romances at work that often? Do employees hang at local bar's?(LOL) Do you become roomates? Please be brutally honest because I have younger girls in my class daydreaming about the chance of romance and roomates at work and i want them to read the posts to get the ideas out of their heads and get a real idea of what being a nurse will entail. Thanks again.:loveya:

Umm... A lot of people meet their partner(s) at work (wherever that might be - medical and non-medical) because... that's where they spend most of their time. I don't think there's anything particularly "Grey's Anatomy" about it.

In the last few years a few of my co-workers and I have met for breakfast only a couple of times after our shifts. We get along well but just seem to need space between professional and personal lives.

Romance in the hospital is no different than romance at McDonald's, that steak house down the street, or within the high rise office in Midtown. There are some who will, some who won't, some work out, some explode. I love Gray's Anatomy but constantly remind my husband he will not get more action if he becomes a radiologist and works with me!

Tait, no body wants to look at any posts from you unless "E" is ghost-writing them.
