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.

I personally think this is funny. What is wrong with everyone. Our jobs are stressful. We need humor everyday at work. Lighten up! Quit being so darn serious.

I believe any nurse reading this would conquer there are a multitude of valid reasons why we are desired to be dated. We do not need an article to make us more marketable.

Actually I think we could probably come up with some more interesting reasons, like; Compassionate, caring and dependable friends and good listeners, because we get a lot of practice. We have a heartbeat for a healthy lifestyle. If you can keep us with us we will run the race of life together and we certainly have learned endurance. Just some healthy food for thought. Thanks for letting me weigh in.

How about the fact that they can give Great Massages.
Interesting list of 10 reasons. Now I want to know why there are so many of us Nurses that are still single? I guess we don't have the time to list our marketing qualities.
Keep Smiling Ladies, we all know our worth is far greater than probably one man can afford. LOL

I concur nursingsophie. Thank you.
#3. ?? Scrubs?? I never considered them sexy. I've seen some sexy people wear scrubs but heck they could have been in a potato sack and still have been sexy.
