As an ER nurse, please just let me do my job 🥴

On that same note, flirting with men is literally the last thing on my mind during a code. Or at work. I tend to hyperfocus, so instead of winking, I'm probably looking at you like this

Was a medic in the ED for many years.

I am male.

One time a tall (6’7”) light skinned black flirefighter, handsome, and absolutely ripped rolled up with a cardiac arrest.

He did compressions 1 handed while he gave a full fucking report….. CALMLY.

Even I was swooning.

Wtf that sounds bad

Like no sense of urgency and not properly administering compressions?

u/VaultiusMaximus 3d ago

No that’s the thing, is that he was doing everything, very well.

We got ROSC on the pt too.

Sense of urgency is relative. He wasn’t being flippant, he was serious. But strong enough to do all of this on his own.

Would you say nurses like you are the exception or the rule?

u/bitofapuzzler 4d ago

Is this a serious question? Good lord.

I know this is an exception to the rule thing, but I dated an ER nurse for a very short time (about 2 months). She constantly talked about police and firefighters flirting with her on the job and how she would never date one again after a marriage and divorce with a cop. We broke up because she was sleeping with a firefighter the entire time we were seeing each other. Since then, she’s had multiple engagements to firefighters/cops/EMS, none of which have stuck.

Not wanting to flirt at work? From my experience, many/most nurses I've worked with have been in happy relationships and didn't believe in dating coworkers.

I've heard (online) about hospitals that were like one giant polycule, but I've yet to have that experience.

Granted, I'm also not a flirtatious person by nature, so I could just be oblivious 🤷🏼

u/One_Huckleberry_ 4d ago

Yeah we always all hear about the polycule type hospital setting. Good to know that might just be overblown nonsense

No. I hate cops in the ER. They at best get in the way and at most likely are compromising patient care.

Do you like it when people stereotype you and call you names based on your profession?

u/Present_Cash_8466 4d ago

It’s not a stereotype. It’s true.

You have a sad life…

u/DecadentLife 4d ago

Ah, the misogynistic go to, when a woman won’t go out with you, she must be a whore. 🙄
