Nursing Romance 411: Valentine’s Days Do’s and Don’ts
It’s Valentine’s Day! What’s the romantic (but busy!) nurse to do to make this day special? We offer up the Nursing Romance 411 Valentine’s Day Do’s and Don’ts to get you through the next 24 hours!
Do: Give of yourself! Valentine’s Day is all about the sentiment. Your sweetie wants a gift that really emphasizes the connection between the two of you. Think personal.
Don’t:Give too much. Infection control is important, people! MRSA isn’t on anyone’s wish list. A special holiday means leaving work at work.
Do: Go with a traditional V-day favorite: Chocolate!
Don’t: Give chocolate you bought out of the unit vending machine at the end of the shift! (All that’s left then is Almond Joy bars — and if you’re reduced to granola bars or Sunchips forget it!)
Do: Go somewhere nice for the dinner.
Don’t:Forget that the hospital cafeteria is not ‘somewhere nice’! Even if they’re serving that awesome chicken a la king special…
Do:Listen when your lover says they want to be pampered with affection.
Don’t:Take them literally. Trust us. This is advice you can depend on.
Do:Tell your sweetie how much you like their body.
Don’t: Include the phrase “Great veins!’
