There are a few other reasons you shouldn't marry your aunt. There are other nurses out there

DP. I would totally marry my aunt’s son. I heard it’s not a good idea to marry your first cousin though.

I would only marry a nurse if they’re a hairdresser.

Blue collar job with terrible hours.

Statistically it's backed up. Lawyers marry lawyers, doctors marry doctors, etc. There are probably some people that marry nurses, but not maybe very well educated or high-earning.

Blue collar? elaborate.

It's evident that most people don't really know or care how broad the term "nurse" is. They'll have a cocky opinion anyway.

It's like asking, 'do managers make good husbands?' Are we talking about a senior VP at Goldman Sachs? Or, the weekend team leader at the Aspen Hill Arby's?

Nurses come from all walks of life at every education level. The profession can't be easily generalized.

Some nurses were stellar students with good family backgrounds, went to a great traditional 4 yr universities and majored in nursing, went on to higher education. They marry well usually to doctors, lawyers, etc.

In my experience, for a decade or more, nursing has been a very attractive career option for women (and men) with a lot of baggage: divorced, single parents, changed careers, children or spouse of an abusive/alcoholic person. It is a secure employment option with decent pay that can be obtained with an associates degree. This makes it a viable option to MANY types of people. I assure you many of them are not smart, caring "called to the profession" because of their nurturing nature. There are plenty of dig-bat nurses that are just there to make a buck.

I'm not a nurse, but this is what I said upstream. I'm glad it has been confirmed by a nurse. NPs who went to Georgetown - yup, they will marry well. Twenty-seven year old recent graduate from community college 2-year associates degree, who spent her 20s working at target and partying until she decided she needed a "career"? Not so much.

Let’s assume we are talking Executive

Yes but they’d have to be a NP, management, ICU, or ER.

Yeah, PACU, OR, and Maternity are full of dummies. Don't get me started on those CRNAs.

BIG difference between Catholic school educated gal who gets a nursing degree from for example flagship U, Penn or Notre Dame St Mary’s College.

vs

Directional U or community college nurse, likely with tattoos and all the other trashy low behavior and drama in their family.

Even the nice nurses turn into b-words. It’s their culture. They are also dumb as hell and delude themsleves into thinking they’re doctors. Did you all see the tik-tok videos of how trashy they are? Twerking and doing dance numbers during their shifts. Ratchet.

Yes blue collar. The majority of nurses are associate degree educated, hourly paid workers, and unionized. There are many more bachelor educated nurses now than before, but most of them are still hourly paid workers and if at a major hospital, members of a union.

Some nurses have masters and doctorate degrees and work upper level positions, but these are the minority.

CRNAs are actually some of the trashiest nurses who like to present themselves as superior. There’s also a lot of substance abuse in the field.

Disagree. K-12 teachers all have a minimum of a bachelors degree with most going on to get a masters degree. A nurse is not required to have a bachelors degree.

Why would I prefer to date or marry one over the other based on a master’s degree?
