Ten Reasons to Date a Nurse
NursingLink Editor
February 09, 2009
Users on Facebook, the ultra successful social networking site, virtually given birth to a new user-generated genre: the “Ten Reasons Why You Should Date an XYZ (name of your profession goes here) List.”
Lists have been published on the site for Why You Should Date a Single Mom, a Geek, a Wrestler and hundreds of other categories. Not to be outdone, the medical professions have also posted “Ten Reasons Why You Should Date: a Physician, a Physical Therapist, an EMT, and other medical professions.
Nurses, of course, have their ten reasons. Here is one Top Ten Reasons You Should Date a Nurse List, courtesy of a group on Facebook:
1. They can help you get over a hangover or sickness.
2. Bedbaths!
3. The uniform.
4. They are exposed to so many xrays, it’s like a form of birth control.
5. You will never need to buy condoms, paracetamol, toothbrushes or any hospital supplies.
6. They know how to handle bodily fluids!
7. Nothing shocks a nurse, they have always seen smaller or indeed bigger!
8. They won’t be disgusted by your toilet habits.
9. They are experienced in manual evacuation when you are full of you know what.
10. They know how to handle the human body.
Have another Top Ten Reasons list to share with us? Post it in our discussions on Nursinglink.com.

hahaha a little Nursing humor such as reasons to date a nurse:
White scrubs are see through
We asses all areas of the body
Scrubs make for easy access
They don't gag
They know your body inside and out
They know mouth to mouth
2 words... Sponge Bath
They know how to penetrate things
They have restraints and aren't afraid to use them
They always have a rubber on hand
They can go all night long
We’re used to handling all types of bodily fluids
We’re good at taking orders
We know all the right places to palpate
We know how to properly apply restraints
We know lots of different positions…
We know that lubrication is helpful in any procedure
We’re always up for a good game of doctor

I believe we (as nurses) should not take ourselves too seriously. As the saying goes, " humor is the best medicine right behind antibiotics". We nurses should be able to take a joke, after all we won't get out of this world alive anyway.

Many are true, some are funny, others are on the edge. None the less we can all relate in one way or another as nurses. I'm way past the dating thing, but I found truth and amusement or ignorance in all of these entries.

I thought this was funny!!! It is a JOKE!!! This is one of the reason people don't want to go into the nuring profession, many nurses can't ever take a joke. Lighten up.

these are the WORST REASONS I have ever heard of................not one positive thing about who and what we really are and do. Someone clearly needs to re-evaluate this list.
I am more than a Toilet Habits person and certainly more to me than digging out poop!!!!!
I see enuff of that at work.....and if my significant other had that problem they would go to get medical help elsewhere like everyone else.

You have to be comfortable in your own skin as a nurse to appreciate these top ten.
Nurses are always rated very highly in polls on professions that are most trusted or perceived to be most honest. After thrity years in nursing I can tell you I have seen small or bigger, bloodier or stinkier!
