Ten Reasons to Date a Nurse

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.”

Poll: For Valentine's Day do you...

Poll: For Valentine's Day do you...

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 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!

    PS. I think these were meant to be a JOKE! Sorta like something you would see on SNL or late night show. Of course if you wanna be serious, it would be like, they can take stitches out with out flinching, They can give enimas, and have a license to put in IV's, wonder if you get a discount? come on, its a joke, if you want serious, read the news.

    This is funny! Humor in nursing is good! Jokeing around is good. My husband is a nurse and got a kick out of them!
