+1 I recently dated a nurse (who was also finishing her PhD in Genetics) and not only was she a wonderful woman, she really understood how to maximize the pleasure zone of the male body. We didn't last as she moved to the other coast for a job.

The deuce you say! What, you’re not going to make her use the servant’s entrance as well?

No, that’s for shallow professionals.
It is always considered an honorable profession.

+1 I don't know anyone who actually thinks that. It's an honorable profession, universally

Honorable for a female. Male nurse not so much.

I'm a female nurse. Many of the nurses I know (male and female) have gone on to become advanced practice nurses (NPs and CRNAs) as well as into leadership or consulting roles (management, informatics, education). Get with the times. Often times, the patients think we're their doctors, and the medical residents come to us for help because we're usually more experienced than them.

Yes I would. I would even have sex with a female nurse.

Another attorney turned nurse here! ZERO regrets.

I'm an APRN who went into nursing after being on a pre-law track, taking the LSAT, and then deciding law wasn't what I wanted to do with my life. Also no regrets. Some of my attorney friends have confided that they wish they had my schedule (flexible). I make 6 figures and leave my work at work.

OP here. I don’t think it’s a dumb post, but you’re free to not come on here and post if you feel that way.

I asked this question because I 33, a nurse, and I went on a date with a guy who looked down on me for it. He made rude statements about why anyone would not just become a doctor, and nurses are overpaid for their jobs. I told him I was currently in school for NP, and the derogatory remarks still kept coming until I left. He said things subtly, but I got the hint. Posters in the patent forum a year or two back also commented how their law and finanace careers were way more prestigious and harder than a nurse. It’s nice to see nany posters on this board don’t think that same way!

I predict this fellow, who looked down upon you for being a nurse (a worthy profession, without which more people would die in the absence of their constant vigil and assistance) will one day find himself in the hospital, perhaps in agaony with an appendicitis, kidney stones, or his gut eaten out from just plain meanness. As he lays in the hospital bed, cramped and miserable, he will look to the nurse as a welcome visitor in his lonely room.

Then he will say to himself, "Darn, and I went on a date with a nurse and BLEW IT by my stupid personality."

It's going to happen, you mark my words. He's probably the same kind of person who looks down on waitresses and stiffs them on the tip. You don't need a guy like that!
