mansquito Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 For the record, my brother is a nurse in an OR specialty that in many states requires an MD, regularly works brain surgeries, pulls down $150k, and has about a third of the student loan debt of an MD in his specialty. He's also 28, single, and apparently beating the ladies off with a stick.

Star Gazer Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 Nope, wouldn't bother me in the slightest. Probably because there are way more women nurses than male, and it just seems like a very feminine job to me. And over the years there have been way more men than women in certain professions (doctors, lawyers, to name a few) and now the majority of students graduating those schools are female. Were they less attractive before this transition?
edward-e Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 yeah the job is actually very demanding if you are working ER, trauma and surgeries. 100k is easily attainable. when i first got in i was making good money but i just didnt wanna do it. it was more a learning experience cuz i wanted to be a firefighter
InspiredbyYou Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 Well the money aspect does not apply if you live in Canada, in fact I don't know how well paid nurses are in other parts of the world outside of the US? There are plenty other professions a guy could go into if he wanted money, it's got to be for the love of what he is doing I suspect.

CarrieT Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 The weight wouldn't really be an issue, throwing rice all around the bedroom every night would though. Actually, Sumo wrestlers are throwing salt into the ring (known as a dohyo), not rice, in a ritual purification of the space. Those dohyo are built for each basho (competition) and once built, are considered sacred and not only are women not allowed to enter the ring, they are not even allowed to touch it.
Awesome Username Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 If he has a job and he's hot, eff no! He can take care of me when I'm sick, or bored.
Awesome Username Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 By the way, any guy who has anything to do with brain surgery is swoonable to the 100000000000000th degree.

Well fyi, the sumo wench I dated throws RICE, and not just any rice but RICE CRISPIES, and when I say "throw" what I mean is that she loads her mouth up with RICE CRISPIES and then does an auto-heimlich maneuver on herself to launch the whole mouthful of RICE CRISPIES into every orifice of the room. Was 50/50 on the rice/sand thing, shoulda googled before posting, thanks for the clarification... know it all

Sorry, we are going through the socialized medicine debate here. Nice! Yes I thought I read something somewhere about that..!?!? () It's actually worse than that. It took me a month to get an xray appointment for my arm but a week before the appointment I found out I had to fly out for a business trip and therefore canceled my appointment. This was in Nov, to get in again I have to call back in the new year and they are aiming for end of Feb the earliest. By that point my hand might fall off, but that's ok because our beer is pretty good. It's no that bad, really. No one dies due to lack of care. Change is the scariest thing for you guys, and a lot of debate stems from the fear of change, understandably so.
CarrieT Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 Was 50/50 on the rice/sand thing, shoulda googled before posting, thanks for the clarification... know it all I'm a freaky woman. Sumo wrestling is the ONLY sport I enjoy! I know a bit about it...
edward-e Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 I'm a freaky woman. Sumo wrestling is the ONLY sport I enjoy! I know a bit about it... all this sumo wrestling talk just reminded me of a reason why A) i cant work in a hospital. and B) male nurses are awesome. which is...kinda bad story so dont read if u dont wanna read about something horrible, but in the ER you see some crazy stuff, like one time a guy came in and his wife was like a sumo wrestler and i guess they were having sex and she sat on him wrong and yeah....u can imagine the bloody mess that ensued...

You just take it out of the box, turn it on and it self cauterizes itself in place of your injured arm and places that arm into the box, which doubles as a cryonic suspension tank, then ships itself off to the medical clinic where it is repaired and shipped back via overnight. But then again we've been pretty much 100% robotic down here for over 12 years because we are CAPITALISTS! but that's ok because our beer is pretty good. How could you even POST such nonsense!? What? Labatt's? I still like that part in Strange Brew where the superdog rolls over the roof
meerkat stew Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 I'm a freaky woman. Sumo wrestling is the ONLY sport I enjoy! I know a bit about it... How many of those 800 or so sex partners from the sex thread were Sumo wrestlers? Are you Turning Japanese?

Robots are overrated, I can buy fishing line and marionette sticks at the dollar store for fairly cheap and make myself a good little hand marionette to tie me over, no pun intended... Besides I can get one of those here, but I'll probably need dentures and a diaper to go along with it by the time it arrives. Socialism teaches you to be patient and like it.

meerkat stew Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 How much does "complimentary" run me for in the US again? Hell I can get you a pretty good arm for about $89 US, what color you want? Course it will cost more if'n you want a -human- arm. Robots are overrated, I can buy fishing line and marionette sticks at the dollar store for fairly cheap and make myself a good little hand marionette to tie me over, no pun intended... Well you can't mount a tactical nuke launcher on a marionette stick and fishing line arm either, can ya? And nothing says "get the f-ck out of my way" like setting off a tactical nuke at the right juncture in heavy traffic, now does it? What, one of those conversationists? We'll get you a Sarin bomb instead, unabomber eco approved, no fallout guaronteed. Besides I can get one of those here, but I'll probably need dentures and a diaper to go along with it by the time it arrives. See that's what highly evolved U.S. nanotechnology is for, I haven't actually chewed a bite of food or taken a dump in 15 years, those little boogers do it all for me.

On second thought doesn't have to be human I can probably get an arm chair rest instead. Think how convenient that would be I could sit anywhere for the rest of my life and have the added convenience of having half a chair attached to my shoulder.

SoulSearch_CO Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 I'm going into nursing. No, it wouldn't bother me. I've worked before as a CNA and have met "manly" male nurses. I think it's stereotypical to assume something about a man just because he's a nurse. It's like saying a woman can't be a doctor.
tkgirl Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 Was just on my lovely dating site Plenty of Sh*T. Oops I mean Plenty of Fish. This might sound bad, but I'm curious what other people think of this. Would it bother you if a man was going into Nursing or going to become a Nurse as his profession? I know it's better than no career or job at all, but is it bad I would hesitant to date a man who wanted to do this. The reason I'm asking is, I just got a message from a guy who is studying Nursing, and it made me realize it's kind of a turn off to me. It just seems odd. What about you? a "murse"! "Scrubs" had a funny episode about this... but no, I work in healthcare myself and there's some cuties that work at my hospital... although I have to admit, the EMT guys are usually more hot than the "murses".. must be because they are jerks while the murses are just nice guys. I'M KIDDING!!!! please don't freak out now guys....
