It feels just like yesterday when we said hello to the 1st day of the 1st
month of 2016, and now, it’s almost February. And now that the
so-called love month is fast approaching, let’s talk about nurse’s love
lives, or more specifically, their “dating” lives. So, the tough people
you see wearing white in the hospital while caring for others also date.
Yes, you’ve got it right, date. So, *coughs* does that mean you get a
chance to date that cute nurse you always see at the emergency
department? But wait, first things first, what are the things you need to know before dating a nurse?
Don’t go telling us jokes that you think will gross us out and expect
us to run for the hills, ‘cause with all the yucky scenarios we face at
the hospital almost every day, there is only a small list of things
that would lead us wrinkling our nose in disgust. We’ve seen it all,
buddy. Wanna know the some of our stories, or are you tough enough to
listen to them.
Work friends = Family
Considering the amount of time we spend at the hospital, facing
stressful and sometimes even life-changing events, it’s no wonder our
colleagues and coworkers have turned into what we consider as a second
family. Please don’t go talking ill about them just because you’re
pissed at something they did, or even for hating them for us spending
more time with them (working) than we do with you. You hurt them, you
hurt us, too.
We have long hours at work
We might not see each other as often as we like, but please bear with
us. Our work requires a great amount of time spent with patients,
helping them recover. We do shift works and there will be times when
we’ll only just be prepping for work, while you just got off yours. Yup,
schedule conflicts, lots of them, are you up for those?
We LOVE coffee
Who doesn’t? Especially in our line of work wherein we should be
alert at all times. Coffee keeps us awake during a long night shift. We
just couldn’t function without a cup of it to start the day. So, yeah,
better start stacking up coffee supplies.
We may seem tough on the outside, but on the inside, we also human
We can seem too tough to others considering how we handle stressful
situations in the clinical area, but also remember that we are humans,
too. We are only tough on the outside, but on the inside, we feel deeply
and are kind, too. We’ve got big hearts and we do have a lot of love to
give.
We need caring, too
In the hospital, we’re the ones providing care to patients, running
around accomplishing nursing tasks and many more, yes, we are the
modern-day wonder women/wonder men. But at the end of the long and toxic
day, we need caring, too. We need someone to care for us, to always be
there for us, and to offer support and comfort even when it looks like
we don’t need any.
