Hey guys & gals! I was just wondering what your thoughts/experiences are with dating people that are in your pharmacy class...

Do like I did. Date someone in the class ahead of you. That way you get the old tests, old notes, a proofer, and a source of income your P4 year.

:D

lol. Sounds like a good idea to me.

Not to say MNaloxone was joking, but a serious other reason as well, if it doesn't work out, you don't have to see them every day for the next 3 years.

No joke-we're getting married this February in Jamaica. :cool:

I would never date anyone in my class. I agree with lord999 that I wouldn't want to be stuck with them for another three years after things go to hell. That's not to say, however that I don't find anyone in my class attractive. I did a "ring scan" to see who's married, but even if someone's not married, they're most likely in a relationship. I try to keep the married ones out of my "daydreaming". :D The fantasy is usually much better than the reality, anyway. I've had some really good dreams lately. :meanie:

I swear that the pharmacy admissions process at UW is designed to weed out attractive males. *pout*

Try Minnesota or Montana then ;)

don't worry gurl, date dental students

I'm afriad to comment in this topic...
I haven't dated anyone in my class but if you do realize that everyone in your class will be involved in your relationship. They will know every detail and share in the ups and downs.
If you like that sort of thing.. Have fun!

lord-

Shameless...you from MT?

Hey guys & gals! I was just wondering what your thoughts/experiences are with dating people that are in your pharmacy class...

at your peril:
dating students in your class
risky business:
dating nurses or anyone else where you work. When it goes south
the entire hospital is mad at you
Downright foolish
dating your techs or fellow pharmacists.
(let's play harrassment chicken and see who wins)

HAVING SAID THAT, my wife was once my tech.....bad juju...the only reason
I even considered it was because I was LEAVING!!!!! ;)

Call me silly, call me extreme, I wouldn't even socialize in the town where I worked. GENERAL RULE OF THUMB; don't play in your own backyard if you
value your privacy or your paycheck.

I date my classmate... Heck, I live with her too! Life is good here, out on the edge! ;)

don't worry gurl, date dental students

Agreed...once you go dental, you wont look back! :hardy:

I wouldnt mind meeting some pharm chicks at my school.....

If your looking for a source of guys to date goto the nearby medical school. They are filled with single, young, attractive, smart guys (that would never date their classmates).

DOn't forget to mention guys that won't have time for you once they graduate and are in residency. :p

I've considered dating in pharmacy school, but I am sure my husband wouldn't like it. :laugh:

My wife would be sooooo pissed.

Haha you guys are crazy. That's why you creep on the down-low ;) .

No, date medical students, especially here at Michigan. We are really weak in pharm, ahem, I mean our 'curriculum' is weak in pharm. ;)

Personally, not only would I not date anyone in my class, but in pharmacy school in general. I have always preferred dating someone who isn't in the same exact field of study or work, I feel like it brings a certain type of balance to my life. There's something about going to work and having to come home to work if your SO happens to be in the same field. Yes, they can be more understanding and sympathetic to your day, but it's too much for me. Plus, I like it when my SO can tell me about their day and I am able to learn something new about the world through their work. It's always nice to have someone who thinks outside of the box that you may be contained within.

bringing a fun topic back from the dead....so would you date your classmate???

Maybe Rxwildcat but I heard he has fleas...

first year was a bit wild. I went the pharmacist route.

My boyfriend starts 1st year this fall, I'm a 4th year so that will work out well for him. Too bad the curriculum changed right after my class.

I'm a big fan of don't poo where you eat. But I also don't know if I could date someone at this point who isn't also in school. They wouldn't need to be in the same program but at least remember the fun of grad school.

Why on earth would someone want to date someone in their pharmacy class? (unless it's final year and you don't have to see them all the time). Folks need to get out a little more and date grad students or whomever, at least outside of their lecture hall. My current gf is a nurse student.

bringing a fun topic back from the dead....so would you date your classmate???Nah.
I like pharmacists though. :love:

I like actresses...

I like actresses...Pharmacists are easier to come by, and they know how to work their corner... drug store. :meanie:

lol true

a couple in our class is getting married next month

other than that, I think everyone was already dating or married, so they're the only intraclass couple

a lot guys i know are the uncommitted type

but all of a sudden feeling ready to pop the question when
she is about to graduate from pharmacy school...

...makes me wonder

That's why I am proposing to my gf, who is soon to inherite a few millions as her father's health is slowly but steady going down hill.

works both ways

Beware ladies! The golddiggers are everywhere! :scared:

I met my husband in pharmacy school. :D We started dating our 2nd year of school and married the year after graduation. Now we both work for the same company and have matching schedules which is completely awesome! :love:

I hope she says no.

Beware ladies! The golddiggers are everywhere! :scared:

Time to marry a pharmacist girl n strike it rich. YEEEEHAW!! :meanie: lol

our preceptor today, for life advice, told us not to marry anyone with poor relatives.

he was dead serious.

he was dead serious.Some people don't know how to break their "poor people" habits.

Sometimes I have to beat my bf over the head about money. He doesn't know how to be cheap without being poor. It's as if you have to be poor to forgo things. :rolleyes:

We're working on it though... The budgeting that I had talked about in the "I make plenty of money but I fell poor because I throw it all away" thread went very well, and now he's insured with a nice policy to work on his own. :D

That's a little overboard. A tinge of elitism in that, too... I have millionaire relatives (who probably have about 10X your preceptor's bankroll, and that's being courteous) and I have 'poor' relatives but a good person's a good person. Funny thing is, at least from my experience, my richer relatives will get you investing a lot more in their line of business/firms than my poorer ones.

Wallet size is no simple surrogate for personality. Also depends on what your definition of 'poor' is. I've known folks who wouldn't date a pharmacist in 1000years, because "only ~ $100k/yr - $140k/yr is no sugar daddy". I would take some things with a grain of salt. The guy's a preceptor of pharmacy, right? Not a preceptor in life...

Sometimes I have to beat my bf over the head about money.

Not too surprise that you are a bf beater. Here's a free advice: get rid of the zero and get with the hero.

Fruit Fly - I thought it was funny, not a statement the rest of us took to heart.

Simmer down! I should've added more to it, but I think many of us do know that good people come in all flavors just like jerk people come in all flavors. (That totally sounds like people jerky or like a jamaican jerk dish lol)

Not too surprise that you are a bf beater. Here's a free advice: get rid of the zero and get with the hero.English isn't your first language, obviously. :rolleyes:

I like to get things done my way. Every alpha needs her beta. ;)
Therefore, the domineering, "hero" types are useless. Frankly, I never fall for the lookers or high rollers, because they just get in my way, and I'm not about to do someone else's dirty work.

And what about the workplace?

How would you all say no when someone asks...and prevent it from being awkward in the future?

I like to get things done my way. Every alpha needs her beta. ;)

Some girls like girly guys. I am glad you have found yours.

What about when a customer is blatantly hitting on you, and then the next guy in line, who just so happens to have graduated dental school last year, starts hitting on you, too? How do you deal with the dentist, on his next visit, when he brings up the fact that the guy in front of him that day was being obnoxious? Oh, and how do you deal with the obnoxious guy when he comes in next time?
Lastly, how do you deal with the electrical guy who wants to know if you'll have a daiquiri with him after you get off from work?

PharmDstudent's solution: just count the pills and stay under the radar whenever possible.

Some girls like girly guys. Some guys like to be golddiggers. :meanie:I am glad you have found yours.Ditto.

Yeah, the smart ones.

Don't pretend like you are so desirable.

BMBiology-
(pictures deleted)

I'm happy with my "girly" "zero". :cool:

Don't pretend like you are so desirable.I usually have to laugh it off. :o

Then you have bad taste or just low standards.

Then you have bad taste or just low standards.Your only standard is $$$$$$$$ (note the eight figures).

Guilty and kinda proud.

Guilty and kinda proud.Whatever... I don't see what you have to be proud of. If you don't make it on your own, then someone else is spoon feeding you.

A lot of the guys at work encourage me to continue dating the girl I'm with because I'd never have to worry about money.. It just so happens she's the boss/owner's daughter:meanie:

It is not about making it on your own. It is about not having to worry about the other person and living life like you deserve. Something you can't do with your girly broke bf.

That's obviously the best PharmDstudent can do....leave her alone.

She still got a shot. That dentist she mentioned may come back for his acyclovir soon.

It is not about making it on your own. It is about not having to worry about the other person and living life like you deserve. Something you can't do with your girly broke bf.Who is opening his own electrical company in post-Katrina New Orleans in a couple of weeks. Does $50-100/hour for his labor sound better to you?

You remind me of the fat cat pharmacist who took half of my co-worker's specialty birthday cake home with him today, because he doesn't know when enough's enough. :rolleyes:

It isn't always about the money... or the prestige... or god only knows what else you'll bring up...

She still got a shot. That dentist she mentioned may come back for his acyclovir soon. STDs are super scary. They make my bones cringe. :scared:

So it is not about money and prestige but you sure know when to pull those cards out. Oh wait, doing electrical work is not so....

So it is not about money and prestige but you sure know when to pull those cards out. Oh wait, doing electrical work is not so....No. It's not like that. You have to wait a while before you can become a master electrician, which usually means living in poverty. He's been doing an apprenticeship, which is sort of like an internship, this entire time. Although, the debt hasn't pilled up like it does in a graduate program.

He isn't waiting for someone to die in order to get rich like another person I know...

double post

You didn't let me finish. Doing electrical work is not so boring!

good lord. way to make things personal you two!

He isn't waiting for someone to die in order to get rich like another person I know...

He's just waiting for you to step into a shower that has bad electrical works.

You didn't let me finish. Doing electrical work is not so boring!As what? Pharmacy? Prestige? Money? You lost me on that one.

This is how I see it. I want to live how I want to live and not under someone else's thumb. I'll live out in the middle of nowhere to avoid a whinny neighbor who wants to nit-pick every detail about my home's exterior and knocks on my door when my grass needs to be cut. I don't care about who makes the most or what the hell I drive.

Money equals status. Status is meaningless unless it involves personal growth and achievement.

He's just waiting for you to step into a shower that has bad electrical works.:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

You don't want to live under his thumb but you sure want him to live under yours. You must have one big thumb.

You don't want to live under his thumb but you sure want him to live under yours. You must have one big thumb.He doesn't care about that kind of stuff. I wish I could explain it, but beta is the best that I've got.

You reap what you sow, right?

good lord. way to make things personal you two!Hopefully this has some entertainment value...

He doesn't care about that kind of stuff. I wish I could explain it, but beta is the best that I've got.

Maybe he does but he's too afraid to speak up. That is if you let him speak at all. I guess some guys like to wear the panties in the family.

My eye is hurting. Allergy perhaps. I've gotta go...

Panties are optional for women in my family. For Example: At my uncle's wedding reception, my aunt said that you can't tell a (my family's last name here) woman what to do. I think she's right.

He isn't that innocent. Shy, but not innocent.

...he's a pervert?

In my class, one guy had a divorce and a religion change... all in the name of pharmacy "love". :rolleyes:

My eye is hurting. Allergy perhaps. I've gotta go...


lol I am picturing you using your middle finger to scratch your eye

...he's a pervert?I've never met a man who wasn't...

lol I am picturing you using your middle finger to scratch your eye:laugh: Nah. You have to beat BMBiology over the head sometimes for him to see a different perspective. That's all. ;)

For whatever reason, my eyes are still itching. I hope it goes away before I have to go to work. Fexofenadine, I'm on my way.

I started dating a girl p2 year but we didnt break up til we were off on rotations. Still it kinda sucked having her tell my classmates every single detail about our relationship after that.

In my class, one guy had a divorce and a religion change... all in the name of pharmacy "love". :rolleyes:

I can kinda understand. I go to school with some hot young guys. If I weren't married.....:D

What a small world! We must go to the same school. Married women are fine with me as long as their husbands aren't Mike Tyson or Kimbo Slice.

For shame, mmafan, tsk...tsk...tsk. ;) We can't possibly go to the same school because all the hot guys at my school are "good boys." :D

My preceptor at my last rotation gave me a piece of advice: "If you want to do good in pharmacy school, date the smartest girl in the class." I took his advice... I'll keep you posted on how it turns out.
