Nurses dating addicts

[RustyCrackleford]

Im curious if this just happens to be something i see in my area/only my life for some reason, or if other folks have noticed this too.

Through my 20 or so years of shooting dope and crack, and all of the various types of people ive known/consorted with, ive noticed a trend of relatively drug naive nurses meeting and starting to date a (Somewhat) put together dope/crack addict seemingly out of nowhere. Id wager that as soon as most women found out that you were a fiend of any sort, they'd cut that shit short and run for the hills. Ive seen at least 15-20 situations where she gets with dude man, who uses and sells usually, starts smoking/using recreationally out of seemingly nowhere, maintains for a bit and then drops off into full blown grime mode.

Has anyone else seen this type of thing with nurses/women in the medical field specifically? In my head i lump it into the same category as the "Straight men love dick when they smoke meth" phnomenon.

Man I really hate most nurses it seems. Nurses have some awful sense of ego as if they are doctors. When they realize you know more about some aspect of medicine than them they become even worse. I get that it’s an extremely stressful job. they are usually just far less intelligent than a doctor not only scientifically but emotionally; so it just makes them all the more difficult as humans in general.

I don’t know if this combination of over inflated ego and imposter syndrome, or feeling lesser than doctors; that nurses have is part of it or them being so stressed and burnt out from overwork is part of it. Could be both factors contributing.

Nurses and doctors can both go to hell in my book. Doctors do what there pharm reps tell them and seem to have became cowards who break their oath readily to save their own status in the community. Damn middle men and nothing more.

Yea they are corrupt bastards (Subject to human nature) like all of us. Seem to have already slipped the line to sketchy bastards IMO but those are worth .o2 cents

Thats a pretty good point, in my work with exchanges and drug checking nowadays i work daily with a lot of different nurses of all ages and backgrounds, and generally they have crazier, more emotionally dysfunctional relationships and emotional health than a lot of the clients do.

One of the nurses i worked with recently, that quit of of the 100 nursing jobs shes had, went on to work at a ski lodge for a while and got herself frostbite by living in the back of her truck several days a week instead of going home.

Another one that i knew was a medication dispensing nurse at a daily dosing suboxone clinic. She started dating one of the patients that i knew and used to drop him off up the street on her way into work. Surprisingly when management found out, they didnt fire her or anything. Just made sure that she had not breached any dosing protocol or laws, and then made it so she couldnt be the one who dispensed his care. Lasted another 6 months or so before she quit. Still together to this day.

Bad idea. Not a nurse, but I used to "date"* a pharmacist for benzo's and codeine (she wasn't dumb enough to sneak me the really hard stuff). She lost her license, which I felt really bad about. Not a good situation.

Last year I had a 9 day hospital stay. Some of the nurses were obvious freaks and offered more than "nursing tasks" by asking me if there is anything else they could no for me three times on a row. I flirted with all of them but one of the 3rd shift nurses excepted my flirts. At the beginning of her shift, I complained of feeling dirty and itchy and I would itch south of the border.

Since I had IV's in both arms, they placed the BP/Pu cuff on my leg above the ankle. While pretending to be asleep, the nurse got the cleaning wipes and started cleaning my body & south of the border. Since I was awake, I could not help showing my appreciation for the "extra tasks" and it did not stop her as she took her time. I even did a few whispered moans and moved my head slightly.

I didn't know she was a traveling nurse and expected her to be on the next 3rd shift. I was intending on asking for her cell number but I blew my chance. I should have woke up and grabbed some boob but I failed.

At the same hospital, I had a different experience and equally as fun. Since they have a hard time getting IV's on my arms, they have to summons the diagnostic medical sonographer. She is godly beautiful and has a huge rack. The first time I meet her was for my colonoscopy and due to the intense prepping for that procedure, I was detoxing from my meds due to flushing them out of my body aggressively. She needed me to be still so she pressed her god-given rack against my chest to isolate my arm better. It worked. The second time I meet her was over this 9 day stay mentioned above. I have a odd-ball name and look about me so she remembered me. The same thing happened again. I was very sick and it felt like she was giving charity.

It is obvious that I am the freak. I am not able to distinguish between them doing their jobs correctly and myself thinking they like me. Still to this day, I kick myself for not escalating things with the 3rd shift nurse.

I dated a pharmacy technician who also managed stock, ordering, and wasting. I learned privileged information. I slowly dug my claws into her with my favorite grinding conversation -- how important it is for "us" to post-up outside the pharmacy encase the power gets knocked out from a hurricane or other dangerous storm. Clearly my advantage with this topic is "we have to protect the store" and/or "imagine how much more they would have stolen if we did not show up." After grinding her down with this topic, she began to speak about how unhappy she was there and how to accomplish the goal better.

She told me about the owner. He had a handful of girlfriends that he would somehow meet fresh out of rehab. There was a "chill room" at the pharmacy with sofas, TV, mini-fridge, and microwave where these girlfriends would hangout in while the store was open. The owner would causally take Viagra pills and Adderall pills from the stock bottles without running it through the system. He would order pizzas for the girls while they hungout in the chill room during store hours. Throughout the pharmacy behind the counter and on the walls were those generic coloring book pages, colored well inside of the lines, from rehab center's on the walls from his girlfriends. Being he was married, he would order sex toys and sex objects to the pharmacy lol... It gets even better.

He had a young female working the front counter in which he started trying to bribe her with extra cash with her paycheck for "favors." This employee thought the extra cash payments for bonuses for good work ethic, bless her heart... She did not pick up on his advances and he thought she was at first. Once, he realized that she was not going to be apart of any of it, he confronted her about it. He demanded her to either accept his advances to her or the overall total of cash would be deducted from her paychecks over a short period of time. The poor girl went home and told her boyfriend about it and her boyfriend confronted him at the pharmacy in front of a packed lobby of customers. A big discord unfolded, names, foul words, threats, and weapons were drawn. One of the customers called the police thinking they were helping the owner but once the truth was revealed to the police the interest shifted towards the owner.

6 weeks later, the pharmacy was sold to someone else and the girl I dated was fired. Her and I stopped dating because she got back with her x-husband, who was filthy rich.

i was definitely homeless instead of a nurse, but i will be goddamned if i didn't think everything that motherfucking alcoholic did was DISABLED, including STEALING MY CAR, damaging it, ruining my apartments with his shitty attitude, neglecting me to "drink in a bar" (probably CHEATING) including once when MY CAR WAS FOUND IN A RANDOM PARKING LOT. oh, and when i tried to kill myself he asked "when will you actually do it".
but don't worry, i took his ass to the store like my goddamn son and let him live for free with me as well as taking care of his goddamn medical problems.

Ok, that's a great story and all, but what we really want to know is, did you get any good drugs

haha I had a buddy that grabbed up some sched 4's think he got caught. I dated a girl whose aunt was a nurse -- she got a scratchy throat and 1 liter of hydrocodone syrup appeared prescribed to someone not her (Didnt ask how). Ended up with most of that bottle --- months later the lady asked for it back I guess thinking it would only have a small dent. Ooops

The anesthesiologist for my colonoscopy was above par. Because the prep put me in withdrawals from Roxicodone, Methadone, Ativan, and Clonidine, before the propofol he fixed the issue with (IV) Clonidine, Versed, and Fentanyl. While under, I was given Demerol, Oxymorphone, and more Versed. His instructions for my sister were "He doesn't need any more pain medication until tomorrow." I told him that I get shivers after propofol recovery and that was why he added the Demerol. I was feeling great and wanted to another colonoscopy at least once a month after that experience lol...

The things the nurses did for me during the 9 day stay was calling the doctor to extend post surgery Fentanyl 100mcg IV: 4hrs to 24hrs and they told the doctor that Hydromorphone 1mg IV: 4hrs needed to be changed to 2mg: 4hrs. They got the doctor to change my Clonidine 0.3mg: 8hrs PO to IV for the duration of 9 days. I was already being given my normal meds, Roxicodone 30mg: 3-4hrs, Methadone 10mg: 8hrs, Ativan 1mg: 12hrs, Lunesta 3mg, Vistaril PAM 50mg: 8hrs, and Gabapentin 200mg: 4hrs. The nurses allowed me to take certain meds together and I was able to schedule them how I wanted. I alternated adding Clonidine IV to Hydromorphone IV or to Roxicodone PO. I alternated adding Ativan PO to Clonidine IV or to Hydromorphone IV. Basically, I was having considerable strong pain doses every 1.5-2hrs.

I guess there are better drugs. I was content and once the Hydromorphone IV build up in my system and taking Clonidine IV instead of PO, I getting some decent nods.

That's a really complicated drug regime to coordinate!
