How many of you had nurses in your lives growing up?

My first wife was a OB-GYN, NP.

When I was growing up we had neighbour who was a nurse, she was probably around 35 or 40, and my Mum would always call on her whenever we were ill.

I remember she would insist on examining me and I would always look forward to being auscultated by her.

Interesting argument ...

My adult daughter is a Registered Nurse. (Her father, my second ex-husband, and I are MDs.) We are the only medical personnel in our families.

I married two, including my current wife, but that's it for family. My current wife is pure vanilla but my prior RN wife was pretty kinky.

Well not in my family but in my Girlfriend's side of her family.....every female from her Granny, Ma-Ma (as she called her), 2 aunts her mother and her and her little sister are all nurses and that is so wild and she told me some stories. For me growing up the only nurses I remembered was 2 of my neighbors and one of my best friends Mom was a nurse and this was in the 80s so probably not as wild as farther back. The only thing I remember was that the neighbor down the street from me her daughter always played nurse on me and she had all the real tools from her Mom who was a nurse and just remember seeing her Mom in white uniform and starch cap and this was in the mid 80s so guess at that time they were still wearing whites and cap.

The wild thing is that her daughter is now a R.N and still talk to her on social media and she still remembers me being her patient and she still has her Mom's cap and uniform she graduated in and keeps it next to hers she graduated in. Also told her about my medical fetish and she has talked to my soon to be wife and they chat it up on the phone and she always tells her what she does to me and that girl said "he always was the best patient and knew he was going to have a thing for nurses when he grew up".

Man she was right.

Growing up we had 2 nurses as family friends. Sometimes their skill and knowledge came in handy when we kids hurt ourselves.

I's say that here was much more nurses. On every big city was med school where finished 30 girls/year. Ofc, not all of them was worked as nurses. Some goes to business then like plastic surgeries etc. And was same like with docs, we talk about interesting cases, sometimes about nature or holidays. With some I had learn many interesting things from old meds (herbs, cardio and pulmo issues, accidents) and was no shame about girls problems and take free day or something.

I have daughter who is a LNA in same day surgery. Also a mother in law who was a RN and practiced 6o years and has since passed away at 94 years old. We got along really well. I now she was and advocate of enemas. Up to the day she passed there was a bag hanging in the bathroom at her house. Her daughter (my Wife) would roll her eyes when we started talking about enemas. She was the one to always bring up the subject. At the time I Mentioned to her that I would occasionally give myself one just to get a good cleaning out, then that would get her going with the stories from work. We both would be laughing with my wife shacking her head witch would just encourage her mother even more. Very funny. Because of my need to have an enema every two to three days to stay regular I'm sure If she was still around she would have no problem taking care of me. My wife agrees.

My mother and my grandmother were both nurses. My stepmother was also a nurse, a colleague of my mother. And later my stepsister became a nurse too… basically I’m the only one who didn’t pursue a hospital career.

Yes, having two nurses constantly at home certainly had a strong influence on the fact that I received enemas, but in reality I had been suffering from intestinal problems since I was a child.

My mom was a nurse. Growing up rectal temps and enemas were a common occurrence. She only gave me 1 shot that I can recall.
