Hey I am a student nurse, I fell for a medical student over a year. I found his fb and took the first step to message him. But then one of my friend who wanted to try helping me made him angry. And I don't know what to do now? Feel free to comment and give advice .
I don't know the content of the OP's Facebook message--it may have been "Hi! I'm friends with your friend Joe. Hope we can hang out some time." Not really creepy.If the message was "I noticed you at the hospital, you are really cute, let's go out." To me--creepy. If it's just one message, I would not call it stalking, but definitely creepy. Also it would make me wonder what is up with the person that they cannot come up to me and talk directly to me. A 2nd message after I don't answer the first--that would be stalking.
Also, is there actually a school that has the motto "ring before spring?" Or is this a motto for a school of thought? For example "the creepy Facebook school" of thought.
Olivet Nazarene University is well know for the the "ring before spring motto"
This thread is unintentional proof as to why nursing needs more men in order to be considered a real profession. There are an alarming number of female students here who apparently think nursing is playing Mystery Date at a slumber party.
Oh, and I had to Google "ring before spring" to find out what that meant.... I think I pulled a muscle from rolling my eyes so hard.

Now, now. There is at least one thread in the male nurse forum about finding 'partners'.
Did you really just post that comment? I mean, I can see it, but I still can't believe it. Misogyny at its finest.
Obviously, I was being somewhat tongue-in-cheek. My point is threads about female nursing students pining after med-students sets back both nursing and the woman's movement by a few decades.

I assumed she had talked to him before bc she said "over the year I fell for a medical student"... if she hadn't ever talked to him, just saw him, and messaged, this wouldn't be a good thing and could see how that would put somebody off. Usually you have to talk to somebody first before you can find them on facebook.. like first and last name, the university they went to, ect.. and/or mutual friends (which makes it easier).. so I just assumed she'd talked to him before.
Yeah, there is. Baylor University has that motto lol
. I didn't believe it til I went to that area and saw.. I think there's quite a few people there who go to college in that area (or maybe even region?) just to find somebody to marry. They seem to marry at earlier ages, too, over there than Cali/west 
As for they guy which said some medical students, residents, ect "string several women along at once".. well, those guys doing that are kind of.. jerks
. Thankfully, my guy friends now aren't like that, including that medical student friend I mentioned. That's why people should become friends first...
Granted, I haven't been on clinicals in a hospital with medical resident students, so no idea what that would look like. There was a medical student who did some shadowing of an opthamologist I shadowed too... but he wasn't around long enough for me to really get to know him. I've mostly known pre-health professional students.
I'd say it's NOT cool though, when there's a huge group of people (like other women) around. One time a pre-med (I'm not that impressed by that though.. bc they can not get accepted to any schools.. that happened to one volunteer at a free clinic that I met/sort of knew) seemed to come over at the science study table and gave clues he was interested, like I think wanted to exchange numbers ect and wanted to hang out in downtown, but then at the pre-med meeting, guess what, the MORE I tried to talk to him the MORE the OTHER women went to talk to him, so, I barely got to talk to him at all. lolz... Idr his name, but it's true that the physican or pre-healthcare professional thing can attract people.
Sometimes, I think the nursing thing can attract guys too bc of the whole "caring for others" thing stereotype...
