Anybody else dated a nurse?

Technically only a CNA right now, but planning to go for her RN soon.

Right now, she's working some pretty crazy hours. To be fair, she's actually working a second job, but her primary job has her working overnight three or four days a week.

I'm wondering if any spouses of nurses - or nurses themselves - on board can tell me if the hours get better over time or if that's just a 'the way it is' kinda thing.

To be clear, it doesn't cause any friction between us. Nor does it put me off of dating her in any way. Just something I'm wondering.

Most nurses I know get burned out fairly quickly due to constant long hours. Depends exactly where she works though. private practice clinic = steady hours

Primary job - small hospital

Second job - hospice

At home - single mom of two teenagers

For the record, she loves her work, but not necessarily her employers.

The hours don't really improve a whole lot, it's usually 10-12 hour shifts with an option of working night shifts or weekend shifts. The weekend shifts and late night shifts usually give out a nice bonus of like 500-1000 a week for just working those shifts though. Just really depends on the hospital your working at.  These are RN hours of course, but the time off "3 days a week usually" Plus the bonus money makes it worth it. lol    If she's planning on becoming an RN, I'd advise her to work at a smaller hospital that needs weekend shifts worked to pick up the bonus so she can quite the other job.

My view of marriage is that if she is happy you will be too.

 

In my opinion it sounds like a nightmare. But I'm also an idiot.

Sounds exactly like my friend's mom but except for the fact that we're both in college now (but our siblings are still in HS). Either way good for you scot!

At an earlier point in her life...

- working two jobs

- taking two college classes

- raising two kids on her own

- no child support from her ex

No idea how she did it, but she's an amazing woman.

Pretty sure I have outkicked my coverage here, but I'm okay with it :D

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
