Hey guys & gals! I was just wondering what your thoughts/experiences are with dating people that are in your pharmacy class...
 
lol. Sounds like a good idea to me.
 
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". 😀 The fantasy is usually much better than the reality, anyway. I've had some really good dreams lately. :meanie:

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!

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! 😉

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. 😛
 
I've considered dating in pharmacy school, but I am sure my husband wouldn't like it. :laugh:
 
Haha you guys are crazy. That's why you creep on the down-low 😉 .

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.
 
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.

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

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.

I hope she says no. :meanie:

Beware ladies! The golddiggers are everywhere! :scared:
 
I met my husband in pharmacy school. 😀 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! 😍
 
our preceptor today, for life advice, told us not to marry anyone with poor relatives.

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. 🙄

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. 😀

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...

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)

English isn't your first language, obviously. 🙄

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.
 
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.

(pictures deleted)

I'm happy with my "girly" "zero". 😎
