This post is meant as a bit of light relief and certainly not meant to be taken too seriouly. Last night one of the nurses in my department said they had read an article saying that despite the growth of the internet the most likely place that people meet partners is at work so we had a quick pole to see if this was the case. The results are as follows:

1) Police Officers - the run away winners with 8 nurses in our department in a relationshipwith a police officer, must be the uniforms!!.

2) Other nurses - came in at number 2 with an equal mix of people having met at nursing school or once qualified.

3) Paramedics - all had met through work

4) Radiographer - again another meet through work

5) Doctor - only came in at way down the list, clearly we have not been reading enough Mills and Boons!!! It's funny when I started training in the olden days the first thing my 90year old Grandma said was "how lovely you'll be able to meet a handsome Doctor" never had the heart to tell her the reality!!:)

It's fair to say we also had nurses who met their partners away from work and are in relationships with a teacher, farmer, car salesman and vet!!!!

As I said it's just for fun but now it's over to you - who do nurses marry or have as civil partners?????:redbeathe

I met my husband my third day at college - he was a poli-sci major and I was studying international business. We became friends through a shared love of shaking up the status quo (and maybe a little to something to do with him having a massive crush on me). We married a year later at 19 and started nursing school a month after that!

Married for four years - can't believe it!

I have no wife. Never want one. I am a single, cynical, prick and I enjoy being a single, cynical, prick. To Valentine's Day I say: BAH HUMBUG! :devil:

My hubby was in the Navy, then he was a Police officer but I did meet him when he was in the military.

I was on on vacation where he was based and I only met him because I fell out with my friend i walked off and had no where to stand in a pub which was full of groups of navy men so I went and stood next to two guys one of whom just happened to be my future husband

Specializes in OB, Peds, Med Surg and Geriatric Nsg.

I met my hubby when I was on vacation here in the US on 07. I was looking for job postings on a local hospital and he happens to be there doing his clinicals as a respiratory therapist. I was having a hard time finding the HR department when he passed by. Asked for directions, he escorted me to the HR building and took my phone number in return. When I went back to the Philippines, we started talking online. Didn't really thought I'll be marrying a foreigner then. Got back here in 2009 and got married. He quit respiratory therapy and became an engineer. And now, we'll be celebrating our 1st wedding anniversary on the 18th! Wohoo!:anpom:

Majority of my friends that are nurses got married to nautical engineers (must be the white uniforms! Lol), one got married to a doctor, one married a lab technician and one is engaged to a nurse.

I met my husband at our previous jobs at the same company, before I went to nursing school. His boss kind of set us up, turns out we were the perfect match! He went back to school for machining, (he now does programming for a machining shop) and I went to nursing school. As for other nurses I know, a couple at work are married to other nurses and one is married to a cop. The other nurses, I have no idea what their husbands do! When I was in school, it seemed to me that there were quite a few of the other nursing students dating engineering students.

I met my husband online, on a website for people who are into tattoos. He's a professional tattoo artist, and he moved 1900 miles for me. Awwwww. :D We'll have been married 5 years in June, been together since May 2003.
