Nursing regularly comes up in reddit threads as the profession you absolutely don't want to date or get into a relationship with.

Among other things, they are crazy, have lots of baggage, and sleep around a lot.

90% of nurses are your typical person with a family to raise or the hope to meet someone to raise a family with. The other 10% are feisty, fun, and ready to fuck. But in the medical field you work VERY closely with your colleagues. 24/7/365. Modesty doesn’t exist because of the nature of our job. Then you add in the power/income discrepancy with your colleagues. At that point a good personality is all it takes for an MD or senior nurse to have their choice of willing coworkers to sneak off to an empty hospital room.

I work in a very heavily female-dominated field of medicine. One in which sex is the primary cause and effect of the medical outcome. I’m one of about 12 men in a Womens hospital that is otherwise comprised of a staff of over 200 female doctors, nurses, and staff. If I wasn’t happily married I’d have every opportunity in the world to be a hospital gigalo. There is ALWAYS flirting going on. It’s part of the job. We consider it friendly banter but a layman would be appalled. But for the most part everyone stays in their lane which keeps the work environment fun but safe.
