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
Met my husband about 11-12 years ago when we were both in retail. After we started dating, I got promoted to assistant manager so I was his boss ;P Now we've been together for 10.5 years, married for 8. He's a 3D artist. I could never do his job in a million years!
In the UK a cop is called a Bobby, a mailman is known as a postie and garbage men are called binmen :)
Just because its all English, doesn't mean we are speaking the same language. You should see the looks I get when I go down south and ask for a "pop," Uh, excuse me a SODA, ROFL. My uncle has a friend from Australia and I had to ask him FREQUENTLY to repeat/translate what the heck he was talking about.
In Australia we call 'pop' softie or soft drink, correctional officers are called 'screws', depending on the area you live police are called either cops or pigs.
I am married to a mechanic, he works for the city fixing city vehicles. I know a lot of nurses who are married to mechanics also. We met on a blind date :)
Student nurse--my boyfriend of 3 years is a paramedic/firefighter. We met in the ED of the hospital I work at. He introduced himself on Facebook and that's where it all began lol
met my hubs online in 2000 when online dating was sort of seedy...but he wasn't! at that time we were both insurance agents and I went to nursing school in 2011 (just graduated and passed boards) - he's still in insurance...
Mine is a glassblower. We started dating almost 6 years ago wen I was 19 and he was 17. That was before I had even really figured out that I truly wanted to be a nurse.
I love this thread! It is so cute! I'm a student nurse. (one more year till graduation! the end is finally in sight!) My ex-ish person (on/off for a year and a half) is in the U.S. Army's Medical Service Corps. We met when we were both cadets in my school's Army ROTC program. After I graduate, I'll be joining the Navy Nurse Corps (in the NCP now). I'm hoping to meet lots of amazing new friends (and maybe a cute guy too! ) as I'm traveling the world!
