Why dating is hard for registered nurses

  • •Self-scheduling still leaves you with weeks where every other day is a 12
  • •Charge-nurse duties stretch a 12 into a 14
  • •Call shifts on days off are not actually days off

Why registered nurses are worth dating

  • ✓Block scheduling means huge chunks of contiguous time off
  • ✓You've already mastered not taking work drama home
  • ✓You know how to be genuinely present when you're finally off the clock
