Another unscientific observation.  Last week I reactivated my profile and allowed it to be listed in search results, plus I allowed a notice to be sent if I favorited a profile. Note that my strategy has always been that I don't message 1st.
.
I've received a substantial number of new messages, about 70% local and of those about 30% peaked my interest enough to reply and explore setting up a M&G.  
.
But along the way, I've noticed a preponderance of those who are in college or recent grads are either studying nursing or are now looking for jobs as an RN (Note: I have yet to see an LVN). Back in the day (meaning the 80's and 90's) the "default" major for women who were just going to school to met a guy was psychology.  Is Nursing the new "placeholder" major?

whatsoever!
My number 3 SB is a nursing student...but she might be the exception - she actually is!
Three of the more recent POTs were nursing students...oh, wait, one was a "surgeon in training."
About the only issue I have with the legitimate future nurses is that they are typically more serious, busy and very hard to schedule.

And yet, the SB's I've had that are working nurses or student nurses are the least worried about such critical logistics as STD testing!  
.
I've actually had to stop one from literally throwing out the condom while in bed because she had yet to show me her fresh test results or proof of BC. It's actually laughable how many of the "critics" that lurk this board accuse the SD's of trying to take advantage of young SB's by pushing for "cheap, BBFS" when often we're the ones observing best practices for the sake of both SD's and SB's.

Funny.
My #1 SB is a porn star and they get tested every two weeks, so she's the only one I trust!
Funny how life and perception can be so different...

There are several large universities with medical schools, so lots of future nurses and brain surgeons!

The odd, if not impossible combo is Profession: Nurse, Education: Some College, Age: 20.  Not likely an RN, but could be an LPN, LVN or MA.

I've noticed an increasing number of "nurses" in the Bowl, and no doubt that some are.  Tend to be 23 to 24 minimum, with well written profiles, and fairly detailed about what they want.  I think most of the SB's that claim to be a nurse (RN) don't realize the requirement of a bachelor's degree.  

1. Financial (brokers, bankers, analysts)
2. Aviation (pilots, flight attendants, flight pursers)
3. Healthcare (doctors, nurses)
4. Business (CEOs, managers, secretaries)
5. Sports (athletes, instructors, representatives)
6. Arts (musicians, models, actors, photographers)
7. Nightlife Industry (DJs, dancers, waiters)
8. Legal (lawyers, secretaries, prosecutors, judges)
9. Communications (journalists, public relations, communicators)

Must be true as I work in the #1 career area.

This is a holdover from the severe nursing shortages of the 1980s forward.  While there is still a severe shortage in some parts of the country, this has been ameliorated somewhat.  There are basically (and I mean basically) three types of nurses:
Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN..I guess where you are they are called LVN).  These nurses have minimal training and the services they can provide are restricted by state law.  For example, in SC, they can hang an IV medication to be infused, but they can't "push" a medication directly into a vein.

A.D. RN These nurses have an associates degree in nursing and in my opinion are the best "bedside" nurses.  Their training is oriented toward more direct patient care.  They take the same boards as the BSRN and can perform all the same duties.

B.S. RN These nurses have a Bachelor's degree in nursing and are basically the same as an ADRN, but with 2 more years of education in basic sciences and a "more rounded" education.

Some facilities are now only hiring BSNs and requiring ADRNs to obtain a BS degree to continue working and are giving them up to 5 years to do so.  
Yes, there are MSNs, Nurse Practitioners, Nurse Anesthetist, and other "specialties", but this is just the basic stuff.

in the Sugar Bowl.  But there are indeed many nursing majors too.  And many working nurses, who do tend to be the most direct, ready for action.

It has been noted, over the years, that nurses in general are *not squeamish* about bodily functions or various bodily fluids, for that matter
From my experience, they are the most likely to do bareback when the mood overtakes them,
such as....after a long and productive cunnilingus session
