Nurses and Doctors Dating Each Other

Updated:   Published

Hi, just wondering ... is working in the hospital like the "ER" episode where everyone is practically dating each other?

By the way, I'm waiting on an acceptance letter to start Nursing School.

We have one couple (nurse/doctor) at the hospital. They are both in their 60's and are as cute as heck. Both of their spouses have passed away.

Nothing like an ER episode though.

Please, for the love of sanity - ER is a "drama" show. Where else can you have stroke patients recover within half an hour and 90% of the codes suceed or where a general surgeon tells the senior ER resident to "keep him (the pt.) in Vfib" while she is gowning up to extract the pts. heart?

Yeah, it's a show based on reality alright :icon_roll

"Trauma - Life in the ER" is a better show ---- and even this one doesn't show what nurses do (98% of the focus is on the Docs).

cheers,

Scrubs seems more accurate in my setting.

From what I see, doctors date and marry other doctors.

Y'all haven't been to MY hospital.

When I first started, docs and nurses were "secretly" having little affairs.

Right now a doc and a paramedic are dating.

It may not happen as frequently and intensely as ER . . . but it happens.

Remember, ER is simply a dramatized medical show.

This is the last season - I will miss it but thank goodness for Grey's Anatomy, House, etc.

I don't see it very much at my hospital, but the few nurse/doctor relationships I have witnessed are extremely violatile and passionate-usually because one or both are married. Otherwise, we're really too busy trying to survive ourselves against the doctors that I don't have the interest to even inquire.

Relationships developing between people who share a common profession and spend many hours of the day in close proximately with each other?! In MY ER?! It's more likely than you think!

This and more tonight at 9 in a special edition of 20/20.

There's an MD/RN relationship that was happening in my ER. Both parties married with children. turned really messy and ugly. None of the staff have any respect for either of them. Ended up messing up lots of people's lives. Yuck.
