Date MD's??

..some are too neurotic...some have egoedema...and some are ok...but wouldn't you reallllly rather date a nurse than a doctor? :trout:

I date a doctor. He is a wonderful man. Yes, a lot of the docs fool around, but mine is the least likely to do so. He is intelligent. I can also talk with him about my job, he has the same since of humor, and when I have a medical questions, he knows the answer.

One of the pitfalls of dating a doctor is his hours at work. We seem to work opposite shifts a lot and he has very long hours. He works night shift, so when he is off, he is sleeping during the day.

Another draw back is that I used to work with him. We loved working together. When I finished nursing school and was supposed to be hired in the same dept, I was not hired since we were dating. I had to find another job elsewhere, which I hate.

I would never date a doctor because of his profession. I date my man because of who he is, not because of his job or the money he makes.

Dated doctors twice..yikes!..one in my workplace and the other.. nevermind..i have nothing against them ..someone posted "u're dating the person and not the profession"..i agree..its just that we have different career plans and so we have to part ways(thats true for both of them).

I have a fellow nurse that dated one of our ER MD (she is now married with a fireman)..they still work together and stayed to be good friends.

I just have a question to everyone out there. How many of you have dated a doctor? How was the relationship with regards to the work environment, home, etc? Did your co-workers treat you differently?

Yes, but that was before I became a nurse.

yeah, but couldn't that be true about all men? no sense in generalizing doctors. many doctors i know are fine upstanding men, not hte cheating type.

:yeahthat:

Thanks everyone for responding. I just wanted some insight on this subject and I appreciate your comments!

I can attest that it's not just the men. I used to be horrified about all the 'extra-curricular' activities that went on between the docs and the nurses!

My husband never made the bucks that the doctors did, but I wouldn't trade him for ANY of them!

I remember this one squirrely little anesthesiologist we had. Homely, and an @ss to boot. He had TWO surgical nurses fighting over him - we used to say if he worked at Walmart, no one would have given him the time of day.

ABSO-FRIGGIN-LUTELY!!!!!!!

it doesnt matter where you work or what your profession is.... it is NEVER a good idea to date someone from work!!! momma always said "you shouldn't s#*+ where you eat" :barf01:

If it's a doc you work with... well.. Anyone who is in a position above you can be sticky. I've seen nurses do this and some have handles it well and others, not so well.

No offense, but get your head checked out, and if it's right--change hospitals.

They can't hire, fire, promote, etc. How are they in a position above us again?

Dating MD's... my ex was an MD...met at work, hid it from everyone at the hospital because we just wanted to be together wihout the gossip...impossible!!! After my coworkers found out, it created alot of tension. If you plan on dating an MD (not a resident!) then give yourself some time to see if it's worth it...you know dating them and their egos:lol2: Then decide to go public!

When I was a Senior in Nursing College I dated a 4th year medical student. Lasted about 3 months and I NEVER dated an MD or MD-wannabe again.....

i'm currently dating a fellow at my hospital. we met on my unit when he was in his last month of his residency. i'll agree that it can be a bad idea to date people you work with. we didn't really start dating until he had finished on my unit and started his fellowship in another department. there are times when it can be awkward, like when he comes down for a consult, or i have to page him for one of my patients, but for us the key it keeping in low key and separate from our work. i work rotating shifts (1st and 2nd weekly and every other weekend) and he works 7-5ish monday - friday and he is on call a one or two weekend days a month, so we both have time to ourselves and enough time together. i didn't go into nursing to date a md and for awhile i kept telling myself that i wouldn't. i went to school with some girls that couldn't wait to marry an md and stop working, but for me, being a nurse is a huge part of who i am, i love it and no matter who i marry i will never give that up. i'm not that have lots of babies and stay at home type of girl though, i'd much rather work hard and spend my extra time and money traveling. i know that it has been said a few times before, but it comes down to, you don't date the profession, you date the person. as for the being faithful questions, just because he's an md doesn't make it anymore likely for him to cheat then any other profession. bottom line, at this point in our lives we make eachother happy.
