DO YOU THINK DOCTORS DATING NURSES WITHIN THE SAME FACILITY IS COOL?

Amen! It makes for a difficult working environment for everyone, not just the parties involved.

There should be no problem with staff dating; as long as they are both single and they are not in a supervisor-subordinate position. I say single not because of morality issues, they are both grown adults, but because of the impact it has on the co-workers, not only because of the gossip and rumors and unsolicited inquiries, but also if things go awry it directly impact the entire group even if they choose not to get involved.

Not Dr./nurse, but the same pretext,,
our second pilot stopped 1 of our flight nurses in the hall of the ED (at the busiest time of the day) took her hand, got on a knee and said "I have you on my mind 24 hours a day, and realized my life would never be complete without you, Carol, please tell me you will fill this emptiness and be by my side those 24 hours, for ever" the whole crew stood made a collective gasp, she stood and stared at Bobby, stroked his hair, smiled and came off with "what the hell took you so long" Talk about taking the wind out of a man's sails LOL. They were both ridiculed for a while and it does make for some interesting flights.

Al..........I gotta tell you, dating within, unless done discreetly, they can absolutely keep their private lives out of the work place it impacts the group regardless. What we do is often times difficult enough without being subjected to personal matters when the couple is having a disagreement, are no longer seeing each other.

"As she lay there dozing next to me, one voice inside my head kept saying, 'Relax, you're not the first doctor to sleep with one of his patients', but the another kept reminding me, 'Howard, you are a veterinarian!'"

I married a CNA I worked with in the same facility. I was nurse manager of two units and he was on a different unit. We kept it on the down low, nobody new about it. Then I blew it, I sent him a boquet of balloons on valentines day. The delivery person called me from the front office wanting to know what to do with the balloons since he was gone for the day. I about fell over dead. I asked "where are you calling from?" and "did you mention who the balloons are from?" and he said the office and yes he mentioned my name. Blew the whole secrete. I was told I couldn't manage the house on any day he was working. People started saying I was giving him special treatment by allowing him to work extra shifts. What a bunch of bull, he did that before we started going together and nobody was knocking my door down to work extra shifts. I finally quit and married him, and now we are living happily ever after.

I think it would be hard to keep your professional and personal lives seperate. Working at the same facility would be hard especially with how rumors get started. You know how gossip can be at healthcare facilities. I'm not sure it would work out.
