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

Published

No this is not my reason for entering.

Just a curious question.

And if so... Do tell.

I couldn't even read it. I skimmed over the "u's" and incorrect use of ellipses.

If you're not going to put the effort to write a coherent and, somewhat, fluid response, I'm not going to put the extra effort into deciphering the block of words.

I met a lot of ex-gfs at my first hospital.....

When you were going through that "crazy chicks are hot" stage....

Right up there with my "tortured and artistic souls that are off the grid 'get' me" stage....

Until I had any number of them as patients. That was cool. Not.;)

If you ARE gonna date where you work, try to keep it professional while on the clock. It's more than awkward for the rest of us when romances are carried into the work place, esp if they don't work out. Even if they don't say so, your coworkers don't appreciate the drama.

Personally glad I did not marry a nurse (or God forbid a doctor). It helps that I was married already, with a son---- when I went to nursing school. I had a lot of life experience before becoming a nurse.

Also, Glad I don't work with my spouse. I love him to death, married 27 years, but part of that is because we are not joined at the hip.

A guy nurse makes every girl nurses even students go gaga, specially if he is cute and helpful, however do not, I say DO NOT EVEN DARE!! You can let him borrow ur scissors, tape, etc. And make sure u get it back; it's okay to smile (don't over do it) and say your good mornings, holiday greetings and such... but no to anything intimate...... just because ur overworked and don't have much sleep you can go ahead and get desperate....

It's like looking at a mirage on a scorching desert. .... it's seems soo good to look at but it's not really there

Um...whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?

I met my DH before I became a nurse. We worked at the same commercial real estate office. I was only ever going to work there for one year, which ended 6 months after we started dating. I was the receptionist, he was a young, hot shot go getter (broker). I was attracted to the incredible work ethic, vs. many of the silver spoon guys who most just played putt putt in their offices.

I was relieved when I left that firm. I would never want to work with my DH. I really prefer to keep business and professional separate. In general, that's pretty good policy imo.

I met my girlfriend in nursing school over 4 years ago. We finished up and graduated together, then got licensed and employed. She has since moved into a new position and is no longer really using her license. I have sufficiently voiced my issues with nursing and foresee a departure from this field also. Despite that, I think I maintain that the nursing field is the best thing to happen to me because it's where I met her. Ultimately I wouldn't really credit our union to nursing any more than everyday serendipity.

The ER nurses can tend to come off a little desperate to the medics on the fire department, and then the nurses have a attitude with the entire department when it doesn't work out, we all have to suffer so please No!!!

Bwahaha!!!

ya, but those uniforms.....swoon!

I met my last boyfriend at the hospital. He was the RT manager and I was RT student. After graduation I worked PEDs; he worked adults. When we broke up no major deal since it was different Dept's. My current bf was a hospitalist when we met and yes we did work together some...been in codes together, ect. We're still together but now work at different facilities completely. So the relationship lasted but the job (for either of us) didn't.

Entering ANY career field hoping to meet a spouse would be a really bad idea (my opinion). If you do, that's nice. But what if you actually hate your chosen field? Hopes & dreams won't necessarily make up for lots of miserable days or nights.

Having worked in 2 places wherein many young residents rotate through your unit on a regular basis, some people made a spectacle of themselves without realizing how it looked to others. Every little bat of the eyelashes is magnified many times by the gossip mill, and people will talk about you.

I recall an intern describing how he was almost accosted by an enthusiastic admirer in a secluded utility room. His only comment "her a** was so tight, a dime would bounce off"

Moral of the story-- be discreet! Agree that if things go south you will not do tandem trash-talk on anyone who will listen! :eek:

Oh yeah, the residents talk about their "conquests". Do not even go there if you don't want to be fodder for these kinds of conversations! :lol2:

Don't even . . .;)

I don't live by that rule (no dating where you work) because I trust my ability to make decisions and take responsibility for them. I am so so grateful that I do not or I would not have the most precious beautiful daughter that I have! I married an RN and now date the most kind and awesome RT!

I'm confused . . . you don't live by the rule of not dating where you work, you married an RN, and now you are dating an awesome RT? Does your husband know about this??

:down: (scratching my head)

Given the massively small women to men ratio in nursing (500:1 would not be an exaggeration)

0.2% of nurses are male? That may be an exaggeration. It is closer to 9%. So 500:49
