I am an RN who met my husband 10 years ago while he was hospitalized as a surgical pt. We were both single, consenting adults and did not begin our relationship until he was no longer in my care. He is truly the love of my life and I have never regretted my decision to enter into a relationship with him. I'm sure some people pass judgement on our unconventional meeting (esp. other nurses). But, overall people react well when we share our story of how we met. You'd be surprised how many people offer stories of people they know who have had similar successful relationships
