Agreed.

I had no idea that some women were still going to college to get an "MRS" degree.

Really, the thought is just pitiful.

I have known one RN who married a doc. He cheats on her openly and has sexually harrassed nurses at work.

I hope the original poster rethinks nursing. Become a cocktail waitress or something.

Missy, the Professional Nurse is not the wife of the M.D.

If you want education at the doctoral level, please look into degree programs that grant the PhD in Nursing or the DNSc, rather than marrying someone with a professional degree.

DO NOT date anyone from that other discipline. You never know where they've been or who they've been with.
Besides, nurses shouldn't fraternize with subordinates.

Just my opinion, Edward, IL

Thumbs up, Edward!

Lemme see.... a student..... and your first order of business is scoring a doc hubby? Rusty, I apologize on behalf of women like this. We're not all this way.

And EDWARD! What a great last line!

Nurses shouldn't date subordinates.... love it!

This certainly got everyone fired up.

Maybe in another 40 years' time the perceptions of nurses as being after docs, or not bright enough to be docs, will be such a thing of the past that we won't even deign to reply to the likes of the original insulting post here.

Stevierae I laughed and laughed at your "jerk" story though.

Hi all!

I'm currently a student at Johns Hopkins SON, just starting, and I'm wondering how hard it will be to meet and date some of the male med students here to seek out future husbands. Don't get me wrong, marrying a doctor is NOT the reason I want to be a nurse, it's just an added benefit. :) Let's face it, my nursing salary will not be enough to live in NYC, where I want to live, AND support a family.

So how many of you managed to score doctor husbands, and how'd you do it? Any suggestions on how I can meet some of them?

Thanks!

mwahahaha :chuckle

The original member who stated thsi thread JHUnurse has not posted on this BB for over a year. The argument is stale and she (he???) will never hear the comments being made. Let us lay this thread down and walk away.

From what I can tell everyone seems to think that the person they are currently with is the "best" to be with and that is kinda nice in a world of divorce and separations.:)

the thread may be a year old, but this issue seems to crop up again and again. so the comments come again and again. some of us feel REAL strongly about this gwenith,and wish to express it. I don't think that is so bad, esp for other aspiring doctors' wives who may visit now and again. i know i went to school with one of them....and she was Dangerous (yes with a capital "d").

I didn't marry a doctor, I married a telemarketer, a now unemployed telemarketer....

But I digress. My first real boyfriend was a 3rd year med student. He was handsome, laid back, kind, wealthy and on top of that he was kicking ass in med school. He was #1 in his class, Junior AOA, and matched at a top notch residency. I loved him to death, but I found him annoyingly perfect. Being 17, I did not appreciate my man & ran around with boys closer to my age.

Anyway Greg gave me the House of God as a present & I was hooked by the portrayal of the sick humanity of medicine. I read the book over and over & swore that one day I'd be a doctor...

So I didn't marry the doctor (he's an optho in Long Island), but I did pursue a medical career, a career in nursing. Thanks Greg.

hey everyone

While I think that there are a lot of good points made in the posts, I also think it is unfair to say that if you marry a doctor he will cheat on you will a younger, more fresh counterpart, Well can't any man, or woman for that matter. What about love, surely anyone no matter their profession will hopefully meet their match and not have to worry about aging.

Ok just my two cents.

RN2007 · Jul 7, 2003

Exactly Noel... Anybody can cheat on anyone, and doctors are wonderful people too and fun to date. If it works out fine, if not fine, but nobody should generalize about drs. or any other profession.

SmilingBluEyes · Jul 7, 2003

it' s just that we see so many who DO cheat. it's epidemic. really.
