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 agree with MSJ2U, nurses have a lot more to offer than the the reason listed. I have been a lot of things to people I cared for and just helped because they needed someone there to help them in there time of need. If I am in the hospital, I hope to have a nurse that can see beyond the moment and the physical and help me handle my illness, to listen, because listening is an art is not really common. God bless nurses.

Wow, as a nurse for 17 years, that might be the most insulting thing I ever read about nursing! No wonder we are such an oppressed society. We really need to get our shit together. Anyone that went through the hell of nursing school and is able to keep up with the demands of this career should be ashamed for thinking that this list is funny. MsJ2U, right on. Jeez, it is closer to a list about why a pervert should date a prostitute.

As a nurse that list is "whack" and so is the person who came up with it. There are many many attributes that a nurse has that a person would want to date. To name a few; caring, loves to laugh, good listener, compassionate, good conversationalist, multi-tasker, great massager, can cheer you up when you are down, good entertainer...... We don't want to "extract" feces from our "dates' you know where nothing sexy about that,.nor steal supplies and loose our "hard "earned license...nor is x-ray exposure funny and it is not birth control...
Get Real if you want to date a nurse why not ask a Real Nurse.
Sincerely
Been a Real Nurse 2 Long

A reason to date a nurse.... When she/he calls in for you saying that you are sick, there is no doubt.

I would like to get to the know the person first, inside and out. Than since we would both be nurses there will always be something to talk about. You would be like kindred spirits. We could bounce things off each other, it would just be really great.

I would like to date a nurse because if it gets real,you both can get tested at the same time and you got no worries about STD`S but take oneanother for real and be serious and get married.
