Yes!!! I have no issues dating a guy nurse. We have several at my job and they are very good at what they do-
They're not effeminate, weak, and take pride in what they do. Some of the male nurses are usually the first ones to rush to a code or critical situation and take the lead! My boss is a RN with a Masters, so he not only is capable of working on the unit (tele and ICU), but he also teaches nursing students and our coworkers as well!
I would love to date one. Not just because he's a nurse, but since we both work in hospitals, we can share stories, vent, and talk about our day with each other... especially with this virus going on right now.
I think I'd be afraid I'd might lose him like a firefighter or a police officer. I'd have to think on that one.
Post Note: My daughter is entering nursing school next fall and it's got me a bit unnerved. The only good thing is I know the school is careful and pulled the students out of the hospitals right away. I knew nursing was going to be hard but I guess I forgot about it being possibly deadly.
Nothing wrong with dating a nurse female or male. Pros: I'm very accident prone having a nurse around is beneficial. They'll be highly intelligent. They'd be nurturing caring and have never ending patience. Cons: They work long hours and they're around sick people. I could catch it (unlikely). They won't have much time to spend with me. They'd probably be tired of talking and being around people by the end of the day.
It's like how women don't really want to date a gynecologist. They see vaginas all day long when they come home all they wanna do is not look at another vagina. Your sex life takes a serious hit.
Pros: free health advice, job security, a profession that tends to attract people who are concerned for the well being of others
Cons: chaotic working hours, potentially the most stressful job in existence, resentment of the tacit assumption that male nurses are subservient to male doctors, female dominated profession which slightly increases the opportunity to be unfaithful (though if the only thing preventing a guy from being unfaithful is lack of opportunity, that's a problem that has nothing to do with his profession).
Oh, another con: the jaded effect. Even though the profession attracts those who are concerned for the well being of others, enough time spent around those who can't be helped will break just about anyone of that eventually..
i respect what they do and i have nothing against them being male and a nurse. it's just that people in the medical field don't have free time. by the time a man would reach the age to actively be a nurse, out of medical school and all, i'd be looking for the person i want to marry (if i hadn't already found them, i wanna get married young). i'd want a person i marry to be present, and have time to build and raise a family with me, and just nurse's hours aren't conducive to that. it isn't the be all end all, if i really love them anything can slide, but they aren't who i'd be going for
I dated a male nurse for years and he was very attentive and nurturing. One time i cut my finger at work and he came and cleaned my cut (which was very tiny) and put the biggest bandaid over it. He was really intouch with his inner child so he was funny and playful and had an innocence to him. He was also incredibly intelligent and kind. He treated everyone with respect and had a way with people where they felt comfortable. Probably the nicest man I've ever been with. May god rest his soul he died from a heart attack in his sleep unexpectedly (we were still together when he died). His heart was enlarged due to some genetic issue.
I wouldn’t just date him because he is a nurse, there are a lot of factors to consider when it comes to my preferences and expectations for a s/o. One of them being that my potential s/o needs to be compassionate and driven. It really depends, but if this is a stigma related question about male nurses, I don’t have a problem with dating one at all
Maybe... the only reason I’d be hesitant to is the shift worker, but I feel that way about any kind of shift work. If he had a set roster at a time we could spend together (not opposite shifts) then absolutely.
