All my friends are RNs

No.

YOU all are my friends. You are nurses. My OLD work girls? They are nurses or MAs. My RL friends? Mostly teachers. My best girl in the hood is a DPT. My BFF for life is a medical biller.

Yet, when I meet another nurse...

Interesting. If you saw the people I hang around with, you definitely wouldn't think I am a nurse. You would probably be in "hide your wife, hide your kids" mode.

i am older and have had different careers, so I have friends from grade school to nursing and whole lot of others in between :) Love them all!!!!!

I'd say a good majority are nurses... My closest friends are a psych nurse, lawyer and a teacher but the rest are basically nurses... Which is probably a good thing as they don't judge/ tell me I'm a sicko when I start talking about poop, pee, blood or mucus at the dinner table 😂

I have no friends, close or otherwise. I don't really want to be friends with nurses, or doctors for that matter.

Most of my friends are NOT nurses. I stay in touch with one friend from nursing school and hang out with a few others from time to time but, by and large, I am usually the only nurse at any particular social function.

If you talk about how badass you are all the time? Nuh uh.

Nurses, police officers, allied health PT SW and 3 chefs??? All shift workers.....

Wow, really? I'm fairly introverted and reserved and don't need a ton of friends. But yeah, it's great to have a few really close friends who can be there for each other.

That said, none of my close friends are nurses. I have a couple of close friends from childhood and the rest are friends I met through my husband, Mr. Social Chairman. I always joke that when my DH dies, there will be 2500 people there. When I die, there will be 2510 people there: 10 of my friends, and 2500 there to support my DH. :)

I have no friends either, just some acquaintances, and I'm totally okay with it! I used to have friends in my 20s but we chose different paths in life and now I'm too introverted and lazy to make any new ones. After working with people all week I'm exhausted by socialization and really just prefer my own company. Every once in a while I start feeling lonely but not enough to change. I do have a wonderful partner and he's my best friend so I'm not totally alone. Anyways, just wanted to throw some support to a fellow friendless person 😁
