sex in the work place...really?

Nurses Relations

Published

So I'm watching television.... nursing and hospital shows of course...and they are always showing someone in these shows who is in love with another nurse, or doctor and they always end up having sex while in the hospital. My question is does this really go on at the workplace? How many of you have witness this, heard about it happening, or was one of the parties involved?:yeah:

Do you mean sex AT the workplace or sexual relationships among coworkers?

Considering I met my husband while we were both working at a Fortune 500 company--and there were many, many other couples who met and married while at the company (it was sort of a running joke!)--yes, I've been part of a sexual relationship in the workplace.

The company had a policy that precluded married couples or couples in a relationship from working in supervisory-subordinate situations, but that was never a problem for my husband and me because we didn't even work in the same department, and we never worked together on cross-department projects.

No, we never had sex while at work, but we did take a couple of long lunches while dating...:p

It's a lunch break not a vacation...

Oh, please. I worked in Corporate America. Like letting that email containing changes to copy I wrote sit there for 30 more minutes was a matter of life and death...

Are you sure no one knew you two were dating? The reason I ask is because I thought my husband (boyfriend at the time) and I were being cool about it, too. Although we weren't breaking any of the rules, we still thought it would be best to keep it under wraps. So, when we had gotten engaged, I came clean to my co-workers. They were sorta like, "Finally...we wondered when you were going to admit to dating him."

What we didn't realize was our body language. We stood a tad too close to each other, as opposed to other people who were just coworkers. That's how we also figured out a couple who were breaking the supervisor-subordinate rule, but who stupidly denied, denied, denied. She eventually got fired for it, and he left on his own. It could have all been avoided if one of them had just asked for a transfer...

Well, u bring up an interesting point. If they knew or got on to us, they didn't let on. We were both newly divorced, and he was the nurse mgr of a 2 floor LTAC unit. I usuallly had been working on the vent dep. floor, but got pulled between the 2 floors. One time he called me down into his office, and told the unit clerk to get me. When she saw me, she was like, "OOh, WHAT did u do? Boss is looking for u, and he sounds mad!" Not too long after we started dating, I transferred to the ER at the same facility. There was one RN who I got along really well with came down to visit for a minute. She started stammering a little, and got all flushed. Finally she spit it out and asked if something was going on between the two of us. I had gotten engaged a few days before and just stuck my hand out. Almost half the staff started trickling down once they heard.

The "big boss" over the LTAC staff - dh's ultimate boss finally got wind of it the day he put in his notice. We were moving from our hometown to a small one about 1 1/2 hrs away to set up a vent unit, and she was NOT happy when he told her. He even asked me that evening, "What did u do to ---- her off?? She was hateful when I told her."

Wow. The nursing environment is nothing like Corporate America--which has become abundantly clear reading lots of posts concerning interpersonal relations among nurses. :uhoh3: Everyone was congratulating me, and they even threw a little engagement party.

I could care less...

My cousin's wife worked in housekeeping at my hospital. It is said that she was having sex at the hospital with a coworker and somebody reported them. When she got called into the office rather than saying, I am sorry, I made a mistake, it won't happen again she went off on an angry tirade against her boss. Not surprisingly her employment was terminated.
