Personally, I cannot understand why you'd WANT to be one of four people that someone is dating! I have yet to understand why two women would want to fight EACH OTHER over a man who's obviously not interested in being monogamous to ANYONE.  It goes on all the time - in all levels of society and economic strata - and the man stands back and watches them catfight each other over someone that should be kicked to the curb, and he gets a "big head" over being the object of such attentions. The best thing that could come out of this is that the word would be out on him and his shenanigans, and make him about as desirable as a case of MRSA....... IMHO - if I were to discover that nonsense going on, I'd be walking away, never to be seen in such company again. (But I've been married for 32 years, so that is about as likely as me being elected President!) And what do they get in the end? Who "wins"?? Besides, when you go waltzing into someone else's home, UNINVITED, you tend to see things you have no business seeing - and you generally get what you deserve.............. | | No. 14 |

I couldn't figure out why any of those women would want him, either! I mean, come on . . . wouldn't you rather have a man you knew you could count on, who thought you were special? About that time, the guy I was dating told me he wanted to be free to date other people as well. I told him, "Have fun and have a nice life." "What do you mean? Don't I get to date as many people as I want to?" "Sure you do," I told him. "But I'm not going to be one of them." He moved out on Christmas Eve, and on Boxing Day I had my first date with the wonderful (faithful) man who is now my DH! | | No. 15 |

Too funny...Patients will often ask me if our OR is like Grey's Anatomy...You could have answered, "yes!"

Re: Dating in the O.R???
We have a policy that states you can not be in a relationship with a coworker if one of you is a subordinate. It's caused alot of upheaval on occasion..and ALOT of secrecy and rumors. Personally I agree with the former posts, NOT to do it. So before you start zoning in on someone...make sure it's ok! Our former OR Director started dating one of the nurses and she was required to find another job in another dept. But they did get married and are quite happy it appears!

 Re: Dating in the O.R???
This story reminds me about a young handsome neurosurgeon in his early 30's who had a practice in TX. He had everything going for him, including a salary of $800,000.00/year to simply put his name on the office door. Surgeries and visits, were of course, more pay.
With the above in mind, nurses all over the hospital chased this young man around in the hopes of becoming his one and only. After a year it seemed he had a collection of one and only's. The man had no lack of energy that's for sure. He finished his one year contract, hopped into his Porsche and left more than a few angry nurses behind.
Good looks and a serious positive cashflow will attract mucho competition.
Be careful out there!
My GF is a nurse and I'm no neurosurgeon, but we have a great time together!

And second, most of these guys will cheat on their wives but doesn't mean they're going to leave their wife for you.
Just kidding... We have two CRNA's who are married and it doesn't seem to be a problem for them. Also, one tech is married to one of our unit receptionists. Again, no problem Before I went to nursing school I was a podiatrist for almost 30 years. The thought of working with my ex-wife gave me the shudders: we'd always end up bringing home issues into work and vice versa. She wanted to work in the office, but I always refused (I'd seen other podiatrists try it and hate it) Then I met the current love of my life. She worked as my office manager for about 6 years and we loved every minute of it. We were together virtually 24/7 and it never got old, never caused a problem. I guess it boils down to the two individuals involved.
