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

Specializes in L&D/Maternity nursing.

I am a student (I sit for NCLEX-RN this summer) and my husband and I were married 3 months before I started my program.

He is an electrical engineer doing research and development for his company. We met in high school (he was 2 years ahead of me) and dated a bit my senior year. Before I headed off to undergrad, we called it off.

Fast forward 4 years. I moved from my home state (Upstate NY) to the Boston area for work. His sister, who was a couple years younger than I and was still friends with, told him that I was in New England (he had moved out 2 years prior for his job after graduation). So he called me and we met up and the rest is history.

I'm not a nurse yet but my family consists of nurses! Here's who they married.

Two nurses married other nurses where they worked at.

One nurse married a physical therapist.

Another nurse married an electrical engineer.

One nurse married housekeeper.

Now from my nurse friends.

One married a racecar driver.

Another married a store worker.

One married a business guy.

Two married other nurses.

Me - Not married but there's just something about a guy in a uniform (Military, FD, Police, etc) LOL.

Oh, I like this thread! I have wondered myself about the subject too.

This is my 3rd (and hopefully last!) marriage. Hubby 1 is was an airline pilot for a major airline. We met when We were both pizza delivery drivers and in school.

Number 2 was a police officer. Marriage lasted 2 years. Bad idea from the beginning.

Number 3 is a nurse. He was actually my supervisor at the hospital but when we started dating I transferred to the ER. We will have our 9 yr anniversary in August.

too much adrenaline, too much drama, too many control issues, crazy shifts. seems all cool at first but not so much fun down the road........

I like this thread. My SO is a football player with a degree in biology. He was going to become a doctor but well football was more lucrative.

Ohhhhhh....Lots of IT and engineer partners!! Perhaps that they are the rational thinkers to our emotional thinking????

I am married to a mechanic. Thank goodness I got out of my "unless they have a sign on their head that they have emotional/chemical/criminal issues, I am oh so not interested" stage.......LMAO!! And here we are 25 years later.....

Specializes in School nursing.

I'm married to a musician. I do community theater as a hobby and he and I met while working on a show together just before I entered nursing school (knee deep in pre-reqs at that point). His job (he works full-time as a church musician among other gigs) is more flexible and usually less hectic, but has some odd hours, so it balanced very well with nursing :).

I just got married recently to an English major haha! We met when he was in a play and his character picked me out of the audience! :)
