I don't see it happening much, but would have no problem with it if the work was not affected. Doctors marry other doctors it seems to me.
I was so poor I really did not have a phone, I wrote on the napkin handed to me. Hospitals are comprised primarily of women, and women tend to gossip. But I saw they interact pretty regularly both when they weren't dating, they were dating and few people knew, and after they got married and they kept it VERY professional. Only if I could find a hottie male dr that likes short, fat, dumpy women with sarcastic attitudes, I would too!!! Dec 26, by Davey Do.
I agree that it's a non-issue as long as work remains professional. Most nurses who go out with docs at first keep a lid on it because they know their peers will gossip.
Not to contradict you because I'm sure you hear it a lot, but I rarely, if ever have heard a student or a nurse say they became a nurse just to marry a doctor. School is too hard and competetive to do that. I had married doctors approach me while in nursing school. I was so poor I really did not have a phone, I wrote on the napkin handed to me.
Definatley happens, we all can name a few gold digging nurses. But the op said "we hear so much about Maybe because most of my peers come from the BSN school here that is very hard to get into, and the community college ADN with more "mature students".

The only potential issue could be with your employer if you work together. You might have to update HR if this becomes a romantic relationship depending on company policy. I was married to a doctor. What difference is it if you were dating another nurse in the hospital. In my experience I've done both neither is a particularly good idea but it's your personal life and nobody else's damn business so date who you want. Well okay then, Spanked- when I was in high school and thereafter, I dated a girl whose Dad was a Doctor and I was pretty impressed with myself, I tell you.

Dec 26, by not. Have they asked you out? Do they share your interest? Those would be the pertinent questions. Dec 26, by luv2. To connect with patients and learn about yourself and your limits as a caregiver. To stare a frightened patient in the eyes and help them find peace in death. Maybe, just maybe i can learn to find courage and grace in the face of death, too.
I doubt your career allows you to feel the full range of emotions that nurses battle and embrace. From existential crises to manic jubilation at unexpected patient outcomes. I didn't mess up. Actually, I'm right where I want to be. Smart and caring, beautiful and bold. She says what she means and I love her for that. Oh dear God, I love her.
Her knowledge was in women's health and my expertise was in Cardiac. I have never experienced any issues with her doctor friends, they all treated me as an equal. You're dating someone who thinks your profession and your work is inferior? No wonder you have an inferiority complex, in addition to your own opinion of yourself and your future career "I am but a lowly student murse".
What's your beef with your chosen profession? You make a point of talking about being a male nurse as if there's more expected of you because you're a guy. Is it really your girlfriend who looks down on you, or are you projecting your own insecurities? I also dated a doc back in my single days. He had nothing but respect for my profession and the intelligent men and women who work with him in the trenches on a daily basis. I never heard a disparaging word--nothing about how I wasn't smart enough to get into med school I never wanted to be a doc, thanks or how nursing was a fallback for the less intelligent.
You're a student nurse. You know how competitive it is to get into nursing right now. It is not for the weak willed or the weak minded. Nursing and medicine must work hand in hand no pun intended.
Any other combination is detrimental to the patient. Smart nurses and physicians know this, embrace the differences in practice and agree to work together. Your "girlfriend" does not sound very supportive. I would seriously rethink this relationship. The arrogance of many physicians is astounding. If anything, she should be in awe of who you are Sounds like you need to sit your gf down and have a chat. Explain to her that you have been supportive of her career choices, and now you would like to be treated the same.
What is your opinion on nurses dating doctors/residents? FYI - I'm definately not in this situation, but am a new nurse and just kind of curious because I see it happen a lot already. BTW, my boyfriend of 4 yrs is in medical school and I'll be graduating nursing school in about 1. Mar 4, My girlfriend is a doctor. I am but a lowly student murse. This is my confession: My admission of guilt that no matter how progressive I am, I still.
Relationship problems do not go away. Rather, those small annoyances in the early phases become gigantic monoliths as time goes on. I think you guys need to have a talk. We all have a path in our lives, and the people you are closest with need to respect that. I personally think respecting each other is the most important thing in a relationship. I was married for 15 years to someone that never respected me.
