    Nurses are always different when you get them home.:(

    Hang around outside the hospital. In a van. With a mattress in the back?

    I dunno. Ask the hospital? No they won't tell you.
    Send her flowers and a phone number?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 34,418 ✭✭✭✭hondasam


    Go back to the hospital and speak to her. You have a fair idea what shift she works.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,663 ✭✭✭Immaculate Pasta


    Don't add her on facebook.

    Go back to the hospital ask for her at reception and ask her out in person there and then. You shouldn't need more than her first name to be able to do that.

    Then report back because we're all nosey bastards on After Hours :cool:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,762 ✭✭✭✭stupidusername


    this will probably be locked. if you know her first name and the hospital she works in, and presumably the department you were in, then ...well, no you still won't be able to find her online. unless the hospital is down as a place of work on facebook. :confused:

    would they release that kind of information?

    Probably not. The flowers idea might work though. Or else as others said, just go in. And find her.

    Chicks love the creepy stalker type! Follow her from a distance and hide in her bushes outside her house.

    Also, most nurses are extremely nice, comes with the job.

    No, most nurses spend their working lives PRETENDING to be nice. They can also be the toughest women in the world, with zero room for bullsh(t. I know this from my friends who are nurses. Great women, but don't suffer fools.

    Is she married or does she have a bf/gf?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,495 ✭✭✭Lu Tze


    Go back to the hospital and give her a thank you card - number in card so there is no embarrassing situation

    Do you think she was nice to you because she fancied you. Nurses are nice to everyone who is injured so don't waste your time.

    its not my concern whether she fancied me or not. i fancied her and thats the bottom line

    Good traits, as they have to put up with a lot of crap in their jobs. It doesn't mean they are pretending to be nice.

    In my job I am nice to does who deserve it but I don't suffer fools and put up with their shit.

    Nice to most people, just about tolerant to arseholes.

    How long were you in hospital? how much did you talk to her? Nurses are friendly to all their patients.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 723 ✭✭✭bfocusd


    Bring her a nice bunch of flowers and a card to thank her for helping you, on the card just write; dinner sometime? And your number,

    If she feels the same she will call if not then you know where you stand without the shame of a let down in front of a entire ward.

    Florence Nightingale effect. Happened me once many years ago now - she even wrote to me for a few years afterwards. Never met her again though as she was English and went back home before I could get the courage up to ask her out. Lemon that I am.

    OP.

    As you get older, you'll find that it's the things you don't do that you will regret the most.

    Go for it!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,883 ✭✭✭frozenfrozen


    Cut her name into your chest with a big knife and lay down outside the hospital, when you wake up and she's there explain how it happened


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,138 ✭✭✭paky

    no i got out there last year

    sound

    dude if you need to get prescribed xanax get prescribed xanax but shrug off whatever stupid fear is stopping you and go in and tell her to go out with you

    even if she says no you will A; no longer be a boy but a man and B; have grown due to this whole hospital thing

    which type of person do you want to be for your life? a confident man or a coward?

    Just leave her a card with your number on it and tell her that if you fancy going for dinner to give you a call.
    Just because she was nice to you and joking around does not mean she fancies you so dont get your hopes up,Its nice to be nice afterall.
    If she does - Good luck with it... any leave us know how you get on.

    If the internet has thought me anything, it's that playing soft, yet uptempo, music will get you laid. Dress as a cable guy for added affect.

    Don't get me wrong, I don't think nurses are generally out there being evil in their spare time, or faking niceness in work. They're just being professional, and looking after a patient (making them feel well, happy and looked after) is part of their job. Sadly for the OP, it doesn't actually mean they LIKE him.

    but, but, she touched him, and looked at him, and like they bonded.... She was obviously mad about him.. Anyway, since things didn't work out with that airhostess, despite her obvious come-on of offering him a drink and everything, that time on the plane, why not stalk your nurse? Lesson to be learnt here Ladies, never be nice to any strange lad as he will then think you love him and try to track you down via the tinterned.

    So your appointment...what's the time and date so I can put it in my calendar? I'll forget to bump the thread otherwise... :cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,705 ✭✭✭Johro


    Nurses get this a lot. Her first thought would probably be 'Oh f#ck, not again...'


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,293 ✭✭✭✭Mint Sauce


    Did anyone else think on reading the first line, the OP was looking for the person who put him in hospital.

    :D

    Good luck with it mate, but dont be disapointed if you get turned down, its in the job description for nurses to put thier clients at ease, attentive, and friendly.
