After reading some of other threads, a theme of nurse-doctor dating/marrying prevails...
I thought we were past that...maybe not.
Reminds me of the throwback nurses of the 1950's and 1960's who were gah-gah over the television characters Dr. Kildare and Dr. Ben Casey...
...or the nurses of the 1970's who cooed over the television character Dr. Marcus Welby and also actor James Brolin...(Forgive I can't remember if James Brolin Performed in TV program Marcus Welby, MD or Medical Center)...
I thought we were all past that...
I can remember some women, yes women, admitting to entering the nursing profession in order "to meet and marry a doctor."...
I don't get it.
Are we still salivating the ancient fantasies of the past?
I don't know who I'll end up marrying, I'm 34 and as time goes on I realize that there is soooo much more to a person than meets the eye...I'm a second quarter nursing student and haven't been around docs very much so I have no idea what they're like, except what I've seen on Scrubs. :chuckle
"Scrubs" is about as realistic as any other medical drama, as in not at all. And I don't find that show funny because of the horrible way men on the show treat their wives and girlfriends (from what I've seen of it, anyway).
No freaking way! I'm married to someone who isn't in the medical field (he's a real estate developer) and thankyouverymuch, I love that. There is no way I would ever marry a doctor...

Yes, that's why I put the chuckling emoticon, I don't find anything realistic about that show...actually, from what I've seen of it, both sexes treat their partners in ways that are unrealistic, and definitely not conducive to a respectul, loving relationship...I was just trying to make a funny about how little I've been around male doctors, sorry if I offended anyone...

are you serious? I am an RN but both of my brothers and my sister are all physicians. NONE of them take call. All of them make over $450,000/year. None of them were ever married before their current marriage.
I don't get why nurses still like to bash Doctors.
BECAUSE,,,,
40% think they are God,:bowingpur
50% want to show you he is GOD and how large his equiptment is.:uhoh21:
10% are Decent human beings helping the universe become a better place.:redbeathe
In all seriousness, I'd totally date a doctor, if only because they'd understand the crappy schedule. The "civilians" I've been dating get seriously shirty about the every-other-weekend thing. Also they have big-boy jobs, unlike all the "but I'm really a musician!"s that I've been finding lately. He'd have to be a good one, though, one who respected nurses, not like the med student who superciliously offered to tutor me in physiology.
I do, but unfortunately I'm a guy and the supply of female docs is limited. Also I'm already married but my wife said I could divorce her and marry a doc as long as I kept her in the manner I was going to become accoustomed to. I guess I could reconsider my orientation and look around for a guy doc but with reimbursments down and health care in crisis that seems like too much trouble.
I didn't go into nursing to marry a doc but the nurses that have "caught one" seem to have a much better lifestyle than mine.
I don't know about marrying doctors, but getting into relationships with people you work closely with seems like it would end with more grief than it was worth.
I say if you wanna date someone you work with, then one of you change units, hospitals or something.

I think its more about power and money than about the label: "physician."
