As a nursing student...

ROFLMAO. . .

The reason I laugh is that I flirt and am flirted with a lot. It is innocent as I am married and very happily I must say. It cracks me up when the young ones (nursing students and doctors alike) start asking me questions like "how is he/she", "are they single", "how come you get all the attention".

The reason I get attention is I am confident and not a threat or an "issue". But it is fun. I flirt with the young, old and those in between. . .but dang, my new GP (my regular doc retired) is sure a cutie. . .its a good thing we are both happily married. . .he's a flirt too.

What was the point of this? Oh yeah, if you are in nursing school to marry a doc, get out. Managed care has zapped all the big bucks so if they don't come from old money they are no different than you or I. In fact, you may end up making more money than them one day. Your salary will not be dictated by managed care.

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?

Yuck, no.

Tulip,
a warning should come with your post.....once you go military, you never go back:smokin:

Hey, asoldierswife05...

You may be right now-a-days. But all the docs in my day were fleeing to the Navy to avoid being drafted by the Army and ending up in a MASH unit in 'Nam. So, we knew we were dating short-timers.

(BUT: He got selected for CDR AND was asked to command a research unit in London! And he still got out. Dam! Wish he would'a stayed in at least a few more years.)

I met a medical student on my 21st birthday. He turned out to be in his first yr of medical school at the school I was planning to apply for nursing school. At the time I was finishing my prerequsites to get into nursing school. I dated him for a couple of months but I stopped talking to him because I felt intimidated by him. He had a bach. in molecular biology and taught the MCats. I always use to fantasize about him and wonder if i would ever run into him through nursing school. Well, I did end up running into him 2 yrs later on my 23rd birthday. I was doing my med-surg rotation and he just so happened to be doing his on the same floor. He recognized me and asked what I was doing there. At the time I had a boyfriend and I sort of paniked when he asked for my number. I was so nervous and gave him my number. He later called and my bf answered and told me some guy had called for me. I was curious to see what would happen so I ended going out with the medical student a couple of times. I felt like I could possibly fall in love with him because he was so attractive and intelligent. The most genious person I've ever met. I again stopped answering his calls but keep running into him. I dream of him often. I'm a little confused if I should just marry my bf now or wait. Both the medical student and I graduate this coming may. He told me we both have to get together graduation day. Is this fate or am i lusting over the idea?

If you're even questioning whether you should marry your boyfriend, then don't marry him.

When you get married to someone, there should not be any doubt on whether it's wrong.

I've had a "crush" on an attractive coworker before. Nothing happened.

But romance occurs in life and you never know where. One of our student techs went through a wicked divorce and was terribly unhappy. Later on, when he least expected a coworker who was also a student, who had been through a bad relationship hooked up and now seem very very happy. They've graduated and now work on separate units.

Another coworker married a nursing student he precepted.

I don't have any positive nurse doctor stories though. I've seen several nurse doctor relationships fail.

I admit I'm old and out of it... but I don't get the way people date these days. Like... why don't you just date both guys openly and unapologetically? No one's put a ring on your left hand. Don't marry either one, for crying out loud. You're ambivalent about the bf and you hardly know the nearly-MD. Make them compete.

Good grief. I've been a mother too long.

I PREFER to only date one person at a time.

But I see no problem with dating more than one person at the same time, just as long as everyone involved is aware, and necessary precautions are taken.

The problem is that now a days it is perfectly acceptable to sleep with someone before marrying them. That is why people only date one at a time. I mean if you sleep with more than one at a time you are considered a "slut or loose, etc".

I have observed that many(not all) doctor's cheat on their wives...I'm not sure I would want a doc for a husband for that reason. I am sure that some of these wives are aware of the cheating-maybe they have some kind of an arrangement. The last hospital where I worked, an older doctor hit on me and it was so gross. He was older than my dad! :eek: I view the cute doctors and med students as eye candy and don't expect anything serious out of them...far too many of them are aware of the fact that they are being sought after..gives them a big head and a sense of entitlement:roll

How is this a problem (not counting the health aspect of it)?

Hmmmmm... so, in my day we dated freely and had a lot of candidates to choose from. But we were repressed by cultural and moral strictures. Which don't exist today. However, young women today are more committed to superficial relationships than we ever were, so they end up with fewer choices.

So... someone want to help me understand how this is a great step forward for our sex?
