I'm curious if anyone out there has found that their own professions have lent resources, skills, or information that has come in useful in their lifestyle.

I do not think your post was taken in that way at all. Nobody suggested that you planned to tie or abuse your patients. You were asked, though, to clarify what you meant by "becoming a nurse for the Dom capabilites" You did not answer that question on the thread in question so no wonder people asked you what you meant.

Hmmmm....I just asked Mistress, and never did I accuse anyone of wanting to tie up or abuse patients, I only asked the question.   Funny, it's now mentioned here. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

Ahem....please, on your knees and head bowed.   Not only are you a terrible nurse, but your sarcasm isn't even funny.

I am a midwife and a teacher, and the broad skills of observing, protecting and guiding roll over nicely from work to D/s.  Some of the teaching that I did consisting of guiding students through material that made students feel emotionally vulnerable.  In D/s, I do the same, but indulge myself by rocking the submissive's boat much more than I can and would with students.  I like seeing someone in a crisis situation and their response to it.  I like seeing the process of self-discovery.  Midwifery and D/s are very similar in this regard.

I respond to posts as I see them. If you do not wish people to respond to things then do not post them in the first place. Sending me private messages complaining about my response to you is a little childish I think. Had you replied to the questions asked of you in the original thread instead perhaps people would have understood your point.

The only person responsible for how you are perceived on these fora is you. As for derailing your thread, I was actually pointing out that you had made an incorrect statement in your OP.

I respond to posts on threads here on the forum not in private emails so if you wish to discuss this further you can do so here.

you didn't name the thread because you know what kind of response you will get.  I could care less if you feel I track posts..I actually was browsing like always and clicked on the newest.

i was a lawyer.  i generally don't practice anymore; just handle occassional matters to keep my skills up.  i cannot imagine how this would in any way "help" me in the lifestyle; in fact i have rejected Men with 5 or 6 lawsuits going on who felt i should become Their submissive and handle the legal work for free.

I've been a tutor on the college's pay roll for years now.  Good parttime job while a student.  And very good to help learn to teach others, such as slaves.

My studied professional fields, proper, are Chemical Engineering and Physics.  Neither directly contributes to my D/s relationships.

I have found that being in an industry known for its professional liars it's pretty easy for me in the Lifestyle as a dominant.

*waits for that remark to settle in

Of course, it was easy even before all that.  I just wanted to have my image tainted ever so slightly.

Hi ya Focus. 

Well as for making me safer?  No.  Being safe rests on being intelligent.  Did I gain a skill or two as I took the ride through nursing school? Yes.  Could I have learned said skills from any profiecient dominant who engages in those things? Absolutely.  Sterile Technique, needles, catheters, enemas can all be taught.  Families do these things in their home with sick family members all the time...sometimes BETTER than their home health nurses because they have been doing it so long for their beloved family member. 

I can't recall ever feeling like I was going through a motion with something that requires my brain to function while working as a nurse.  Even for the patient I've given the same meds to for the last 4 years I check each and every med.  If I just pop the pills out of the cards into a cup without paying much attention to the drugs I risk things like: the pharmacy sending the wrong dose, a nurse before me putting another patient's card in the wrong spot, or maybe the patient exhibits a symptom that makes me know I should "hold" a certain dose of something. Every single pill every single card of pills is checked and before I even pop out the pills to give, I assess my patient.

I have an example for almost any "task" in nursing you can give me.  Those who do go through the motions are the ones that you, your family and friends complain about later.

Hope that helps.

Accounting doesn't help much, nor did doing personnel and human resources work. Fetish modeling sometimes gave me ideas for scenes.

Very much so. Communicating often, even when the only communication is "I just wanted to let you know that things are progessing but I have no new news", keeping people happy and in step with what is going on, is vital. I have to keep a cool head and view things from many different points of view. I have to be strong and stand firm, even when my position is not the popular one. I have to be able to read people quickly and well. My job requires me to be in a nurturer role as well as in the role of the voice of reason, even when the two positions see to be at odds. I have to be both understanding and sympathetic, as well as realistic. It is all helpful practice.
