Have you met your husband at nursing? Is nursing a good career to meet men?

[Upward_Bound]

No this is not my reason for entering.

Just a curious question.

And if so... Do tell.

I am actually really cool with the very few male nurses I know in my hospital. It would be super weird if they ever asked me out. However, one of the male nurses from nights has hit on me, but I really haven't paid it too much mind. If he ever stayed back for overtime during my shift then I can see it getting uncomfortable. The transporters are a whole other story lol. I feel like fresh meat being the new chick on the floor.

The boys/young men on my unit? LOL! They're all fresh newbs out of school and like 10 years younger than me.

Same with the doctors. I get nervous when they barely look like they're out of high school.

No. It is not.

I can't count with all fingers how many times a patient asked me - "How old are you? You look so young!".

Yes ... I was full fledged RN at age 21.

Most of my coworkers are 30 - 40 years old and above and female... so not like I'm gonna date any of them. But they make great drinking buddies!

Why do people assume NURSING is THE place to meet men????

Um, 'cause we're HOT?

[CardiacDork, MSN, RN]

Um, 'cause we're HOT?

I knew you were a boy... Far.

[Chanceygrl]

Yes I did. We have been married 13 years. We just fell in love and that was that. Saying that though nursing is not a career to meet eligible men but it can be done.

I'm a girl. Let's leave my boobs out if it, m'kay?

I meant that they (people) expect the women (us) to meet men (them) at work because we (women) are so hot.

Poor communication of idea, sorry.

[LM NY]

Good! I didn't like the idea of you not having boobs. Back to the topic, there is a glow in a man's eye when you mention you're a nurse. Especially if you are in your scrubs and rocking them. I can see it happening more if there were more male nurses. I guess it's easier for some to get closer to the doctors. I know what I bring to the table, so I would never settle into the stereotype of the nurse "shacking" with the doctor either. I knew guys had an admiration/fantasy for nurses, but didn't believe it completely until now.
