Would you marry a doctor?

Published

I thought being a nurse would be an excellent way to meet doctors to marry...but after a few weeks as a young nurse...I change my mind.

They work too much, they're arrogant, and they think they're God's gift to man kind.

Yea, the young ones are nice...but the older ones...forget it.

With the experiences you had working with doctors, would you marry one?

Nope I would not. You would never get away from work. I like some of the doctors I have worked with but never have wanted to flirt with or marry one. I have been chewed by too many to even think like that...:o

I had to laugh at this, when I read this. I can relate to it. When I was a young girl, not ever thinking I was going to become a nurse, I always thought doctors and nurses were together. Ironically, I became a nurse and find that nurses' do end up with doctors for one reason or another. I have had experiences where some were interested in me, but I did not let it go anywhere. They tend to have a reputation. To add more irony to the story, I ended up meeting someone who was a healthcare worker (because he was a doctor from his country). This is not something I knew according to his job he had at the time. since then, he is now a nurse. (but for the record, he was really a doctor for many years and I am a nurse for many years). It has been a hard relationship at times and we have a child, but never got married. so.... I never married the doctor and I don't think I would ever marry a doctor!!!! hahahaha

No way! Especially when you've been around a while I see how often "extracurricular activities" occur.

HELL FRICKIN' YES I WOULD! LOL.... Hook me up honey!

Good LORD... This is a GREAT joke if it wasn't so TRUE!

I've seen that happen so many times where a doctor on the make screws one nurse on one floor while another nurse from a different floor is watering his plants and feeding his cats... All along the nurses ALL know what a FOOL the one watering his plants is!

GOOD LUCK!

Yes, I would marry a doctor... without question... who better to understand you and who better to support the joys and the stresses they encounter daily? I've been married to one of the most intelligent, kind, compassionate, and ethical person who happens to be a doctor(surgeon) for 31 years. If you are in nursing, it must be because you desire to minister to others. The same can be said for the majority of doctors whom I've come in contact for the last 35 yrs.. They're just people...with all of the emotional issues and responses that we all have.. what distinguishes all of us from the masses is how we handle stress. Above all things, professionalism which includes calm, compassionate care......

see there's a difference.. you went for nursing because you wanted to be a nurse.. it your passion. while you work as a nurse, you met a DR who u fell in love with and married him.. Now the girl who originally posted this topic is just wrong.. she didn't become a nurse because she's passionate about it but she pursue nursing because her goal in life is to marry a DR.. now thats just sad and pathetic..

I dated a doctor once. He wanted to marry me. I would have been his second wife. He actually had the nerve to tell me he had cheated on his first wife all the way through residency with another doctor (opposite sex of course) and 4 other women. Anyway I took that as a huge warning. I actually dumped him for the man I am married to now.

Turns out he did remarry and he is a local doctor at a very small hospital and has relations with anyone who will give him the time of day and yes, while he is still married. Whew! I dodged a bullet there.

I wouldn't have married that doctor and really, when we were dating, I found out that being a doctor's wife was not something I had any desire to be. Not into that scene. More power to the women who are. I just have no desire to be married to someone who is always gone.

I married a suit. I married the man of my dreams.

this thread is too weird.... if i had to start somewhere.... i think romances in the workplace are very inappropriate, and yes people that work together can fall in love, but they should immediately think about their professional situation...

and some bits about doctors ive met....

some doctors Ive met are completely engulfed in their professional careers (good or bad? ... depends on the person)

some are ******** (I find these are already married, for some weird reason)

some are dull and uninteresting

some are charming, polite and a pleasure to work with! (why would I marry these??? I love working with these!)

...but like with everything, u cannot generalize.

and never say never lol

not all nurses are females like how not all docs are male though. sounds like an outdated saying

Yup nowadays, it is different ----- should not be gender based descriptions. Times have changed so much in this area ...... we have to adapt and go w/ the changes.

Catholic? Oh please let us not go there?

I agree , marry for love , unless you come from a culture where arranged marriages are done to ensure a financial security for your children. Looking at some marriages and breakups and divorces, I strongly believe that everybody will be well off if marriage is treated as a business ???? This way nobody is loses in case the marriage does not work. Assigned profits and losses equally to it's party ....and do not forget the overtime pay for housewives that starts working in the house early 5 am to 11 pm at night !:coollook:
