Posted: 12/25/2005 12:14:41 PM | | Well...I don't know but there are more Nurses, Educators and Real Estate women on the Personals. Maybe it's cuz those careers are time and stress consuming that an honest relationship is difficult to have with those people. I know that I try to avoid all three. Gotta be a reason why they're prevalent. | |

Posted: 12/28/2005 8:10:09 AM | | Well said msg 57,as for 56 what a hypocrite,your profile is asking for exactly what nurses stand for,and how can you be so judgemental,everyone is different as a person,as for critisizing people for doing a certain job,is just diabolical,especially a job that is dangerous,stressful and all the rest of the crap we have to put up with from people like you,you should think yourself lucky we exist,i take it you have never had to attend hospital,or needed an ambulance for yourself or your family,i hope you never do.Ihave just lost a child two months ago if you have read further back,and those nurses were angels both in and out of hospital,my nurse friends bring me food to make sure i am eating,they call me daily to make sure im ok,and have been there to get me through christmas without my son,how dare you critisize these wonderful people.DO us nurses a favour and dont dates us,were far out of your league. | |

RNs have a reputation for being cold and unfeeling. The job does that to them. At least after a few years. They become desensitized to pain and suffering. They also become bitter and antagonistic, resenting doctors that make 5 times their salary just for bossing them around. I've been in the hospital many times and I have never met a pleasant RN.
I don't know where this reputation comes from. I was married to an RN for a long time, and despite our problems, I wouldn't call her desensitized or bitter, nor any of the coworkers I ever met. Some of them developed a unique sense of black humor, but that happens when caring people are forced into difficult situations.
I have been in the hospital a couple of times myself and a dozen times with friends or relatives, and I agree that the experience could have been improved if the entire staff had been able to spend a little more time talking and listening and being sympathetic, and not forced to rush from one procedure to the next. But that's not the fault of the nurses, it's the fault of the bottom line. | |

Posted: 12/28/2005 8:55:10 AM | Ya... consider the source darling - They make porno with nurses for a reason. A job is a job, I mean I could see some immature people being turned off if you were a proctologist or something but a RN?
Some people are just stupid. I have dated a dozen nurses... The only thing I would say that was bad about MOST of them (Not all) was they would get into these depressions because a death hit them in a soft spot. Or they become desensitized to death all together.
But don't be like that and you will be fine! Never lose that smile! | |

Posted: 12/28/2005 9:03:37 AM | | I also do not know why somebody thinks people stay away from RN's. I would ask the paramedic where he got his information. Perhaps he is intimidated by RN's. Sounds like he had an issue with someone who is an RN and now is trying to smear them as a group. You might want to stay away from that paramedic as his statement seems a bit strange. | |

Posted: 12/28/2005 9:12:50 AM | | Who cares what job others have? We are to meet people, not jobs. As a child I was taught from a trash man to millionaires, both are men and both can love. The purity of the heart means most. Who ever respects, loves and cares is worth more than an ounce of gold. In the end, money means nothing but love is everything. | |

Posted: 12/28/2005 10:31:22 AM | | i don't know but i guess i will find out soon. as for the LPN who said he would never date an RN, i have seen RN's who are mean to LPN's because they feel they are better than they are as well as RN's who treat the CNA's like crap, this tends to make them badmouth all RN's. however it is just like any other prefession you are going to have some good and some bad in there, treat everyone you work with with respect and courtesy and maybe we can change the stereotype. to the paramedic/LPN you shouldn't judge all RN's based on a few bad experiences. | |

Posted: 12/28/2005 11:35:05 AM | I have been in the health care field now for over 5 yrs and would not trade my job for the world! I love my patients and would do anything I could to help them. People who judge us hard working health care professionals are the ones who are going to need us the most one day. "He" will surely change his tune when he is coding and I am the only one there able to save him, I highly doubt he is gonna argue and say, ummm, no thanks RN's are yadda yadda.
ANYONE in the health care industry is there becuase we chose to be, we want to help people, and let me just make it VERY clear we sures to heck don't earn what we should!! So, no one can put down what we do, if you think you can do better, by all means, please allow me to step aside and watch you do my 12 hour night shifts for little pay. There are downfalls to any job, so why put down any field of work? There are sour people where ever you go. NEVER judge a profession or, better yet, a person, based on what they do, or the way someone else demeanor in that same profession is. Always respect the profession, and better yet, respect the person. | |

Posted: 12/28/2005 1:27:19 PM | I am a PSW worker and currently attending school to be an RN...i don't believe that ppl should judge other ppl on what they do....cause if we did, what would we say about garbage men....RN's are very compationate ppl to do the work they do, anyone in the health care profession absolutly wants a understanding companion by there side....the trick to it in my opinion is you never take your work and feelings home with you, that is when the problems start...just like with a bad day at the office...good luck to you!! | |

Posted: 12/29/2005 2:27:57 AM | | Paramedics are awesome.....they've got a wicked adrenalin pumping job. I like paramedics more than docs...docs aren't as quick on their feet...lol... RN's have a pretty damn interesting job as well. You get to see into the lives and personalities of sooooooooooo many different types of ppl.....so many different stories....it's pretty overwhelming.You get to be with the patient longer than any other health professional and learn about them and their stories a lot. It's insane and it makes u think a lot; it also makes you not fear death; it makes u do things the right way so u don't fear death, it encourages u to have more fun in ur personal life, it makes ya contemplate why ppl were made the way they are...over and over. It teaches you a huge responsiblity, patience, understanding, and teaches u that life is short. It's fun too....u get to learn cool and crazy ass treatments and talk to nice and silly patients too. Being a student nurse is nothing like actually being an actual RN...then reality kicks in.......which is what i've heard ..wink I have soooo much respect for a lotta respect for docs too....well 80% of them..not all of them are docs for the right reasons but most are. Please don't fear health care professionals, IT WILL BE UR LOSS, like seriously. If u wanna go out with them, go out with the light hearted ones, but 80% of them don't have bad hearts. | |

Posted: 12/29/2005 3:32:32 AM | | I work for a large county facility which house 200 nurses. Most that are married spouses have less to equal paying jobs, small percent higher than theirs.. Nurses are caring for their patients, and very family oriented. Chemistry classes are tough. That's one reason I didn't become an r.n. in my site there are only 12 male r.n.s. Nursing is a much needed profession. Good luck to any person who trys to achieve this goal. | |

Posted: 12/29/2005 11:06:17 AM | | As for sky - student nurses are alot like RN's and in clinicals do alot of the same things and see alot of the same things as RN's do, at least where I am at and based on what I have experienced reality has already set in, as well as there have been alot of drop-outs from people who couldn't handle it. It is a very hard profession and school is very tough..out or 35 we have 14 left entering our last semester. I was very offended that the paramedic/LPN was putting down RN's, the funny thing is we have 2 certified paramedics in our nursing class. I think anyone who is in the healthcare field period rather it be as a student, CNA, CMA, doctor,paramedic should all have respect for each other and work together so each situation can have the best possible outcome realizing that while their jobs are different each one is important in the outcome. I just wonder how it is when he is working along side an RN, hopefully he remains professional so the job gets done right. | |

Posted: 12/29/2005 3:18:20 PM | If you read both the posts that guy posted, it doesn't add up.... He is an LPN, but next post was a hospital administrator.... are you serious?? I highly doubt that.
Maybe he got dumped by an RN and is lashing out. | |

Posted: 12/30/2005 2:46:12 AM | | I tend to agree,how can you judge a whole range of people you dont even know,i dont think anyone should be attacking anyone for their occupation,nationality etc,etc,thats not what these forums are here for,sure theres good and bad in all professions,but thats life,and as a nurse in australia,it maybe very much different,people here are certainly more laid back than when i lived in England.Hes just slagging off RN'S in his own town/country,I guess in oz we do the same job just focus more on the downunder. | |

Posted: 1/11/2006 5:00:00 PM | I wouldn't let it get to you. I guess the only problem that I see is shift work. I like the person I am with to be home at night with me and be able to do stuff on the weekends. I have dated Nurses before and this was always the problem. Other than that I love Nurses, especially the Cute ones!   | |

Posted: 1/17/2008 12:26:38 AM | It's been my experience that those nurses are ones who don't have a great support system themselves, and aren't in the job for the fullfillment of it...just the cash.
I was once married to one of those Nurses! Ive heard her yell at patience and ignore call bells, unfortunately there is such a high demand for nurses she still has a job. How does it feel to know that your occupation is the top for divorce rate? | |
