romance at work I have seen relationships at work come and go, some ending very publicly at work and others enduring. It is nice to work with couples who obviosly love and respect each other at work and personally. It was with hesitation that I found myself in a relationship with one of my workmates, I have always admired his attitudes and compassion that he showed to our aged residents, but was nervous as to how our colleages would react. Fortunately our relationship has been accepted well and people are generally happy for us. My partner moved to a different unit but we are generally able to work the same shifts. I see why management are nervous about partners working together as it can be uncomfortable for other staff members when things go wrong, and I think its a good idea to work on different wards.

romance in the workplace alanik,I don't know what stage of relationship you are in with your collegue BUT I believe that as long as you are not stepping on any legal and moral boundaries, Neither of you are in a legal ralationship with someone else nor showing any indecent acts whilst at work...there is no reason for anybody to make you feel discriminated. It's sad, how other people cannot distinguish the right from wrong.If they have no basis of telling you that this relatioship is wrong..,then maybe you can ask for a time to talk about this issue.

romance at work I'm in a relationship with my colleague. We think it is great!!! We are very dedicated nurses, both very experienced and very rarely take time off. We recently experienced discrimination from our NUM and are now being told by upper management that working together breeches the code of conduct!! We have thoroughly reviewed this policy and cannot come to the same conclusion. I must point out that we both have the same role/duties and neither one of us is in a position of power over the other. Has anybody else experienced this? What do others think?
