As a nursing student...

Hello!!! As many of you know, or may not know, I'm starting nursing school in January. I was wondering, have you ever had a crush :redpinkhe on a doctor you've met or on any of your peers or people who work at the hospital in which you do your clinicals? What can I say? I'm a HUGE romantic at heart!!!!!:p :1luvu:

Ha! Ha! Just like in all life there are real dream boats and some that are butt ugly! The med students and new residents are the easiest to get to know since they are new at doctoring and still kind of anxious. A kind word goes a long way with some of them. Those of us who have worked in teaching facilities know that some nurses treat med students and residents worse than the young nurses that they eat! I have two friends that are married to doctors. Because one works for an HMO, he is home evenings and weekends. The other, however, has his own practice, and I wonder if his kids even remember what he looks like! Most docs are bookworms and eggheads. They had to be to get into medical school. That is only a generalization though. Many med students and residents have their noses poked in books during their free time because there is just more and more they need to read in order to keep up with their studies. And, something that most nurses may not know is that in their last year of residency, doctors usually are required to complete and publish a serious research project. That can take up a good deal of their time.

I see they brought back Rick Springfield as Dr. Noah Drake on General Hospital the other day. They have introduced his son, as well, definitely a hot headed womanizer who Robin Scorpio is goading into doing surgery on Jason Quartermaine. It's great TV! but, it doesn't really happen like that in the real world. Now, watch someone post a true doctor/nurse love story that contradicts all that!

There are some hottie doctors I've seen at clinicals. I even befriended one of them and we have coffee now and again and he's single, but right now he's a new doctor, fresh out of school and boggled down in a half a million dollars in student loans, so love and romance is the last thing on his mind at the moment. We talk on the phone often we'll IM each other, etc.

But I've never heard any stories of a nurse hooking up with any doctors, but I've seen nurses hook up with other nurses.

I couldn't resist this. We had a girl in our nursing program that would sleep with any med student, intern, or resident who gave her "the eye". A real tramp. Looking back, I suspect the word had gone out among the docs. It was kind of embarrassing to watch her go to work on a young doc. She'd sashay around him and act all flirty and giggle. Everyone knew she was on the make. She made no bones about it with us at school that she was looking for a doctor husband. As long as I knew her and lived in the area where we went to school I never knew her to be successful in her quest. Your post made me wonder if she was ever found her doctor.

That is for sure, but the one's that really crack me up are the dreamboat doctors that have thier butt on thier shoulders. Oh well, I guess every profession has its advantages and it's disadvantages.

I am completely oblivious that other men besides my hubby exist. We are newlyweds (kinda) and he recently returned to the U.S. from deployment...can't think of anything other than being with him when he comes home for good!:blushkiss Except this one time when this really HOT male nurse came to do rounds at the hospital for his MD and I didn't even look twice until my instructor forced me to stop charting and go to another student's pt's room to watch the nurse pull out a chest tube. Then I sort of realized, wow, this guy is dreamy and I just got lost in his deep blue eyes (drool). :p If you are single I recommend you don't go looking for anything because you might find yourself in a mess, but don't hold back either because sometimes I wish my spouse better understood what it is like to work in the medical feild and share the interest with me:)

one of my co-workers was pursued by one of the residents when she was in nursing school. they did eventually develop a romance and now live together. they were the same age and both had similar backgrounds...just happened to strike up a conversation one day.

it was all very innocent as neither of them were really looking for a relationship at the time. she was very nervous about the whole thing and kept it rather private for quite some time.

i also have a former co-worker who went into nursing hoping to snag a doctor as a husband...she was hoping to find one while in school so that she wouldn't have to finish. i never did find out what happened to her... :rotfl:

I've met nurses who have met, dated and married doctors. Those nurses had "class" and I don't think it was there intent. They were sought after and not the seekers. Work at a teaching hospital to meet the med students, do your work, dress like a "doctor's wife", and have a "good"

reputation.

Ladies! Ladies! Don't forget that (alas) slightly less than 50% of new med students and doctors are males. So the odds of nabbing a doc for a husband or whatever are about half of what they were. (Que lastima!)

If you're a romantic and unmarried, I'd recommend going into the Army, Navy, or Air Force Nurse Corps. You will find yourself in what we could call a "target rich environment." I was a Ltjg/NC/USNR and married my LCDR/MC/USN less than three years from graduation and 35 years later, we're still together.

1Tulip,

Que lastima, indeed!!! :D Please guys, don't get me wrong. I will be/am a nursing student because I want to be a nurse to BE a nurse, not because I want to marry a doctor. I was just wondering if "fairy tales" really did happen. I want to make a difference in someone's life. I want to be used that way, I am not a "doctor chaser". No, No, No.
