About me:
I am a 27 year old single man, never been married, no children. I recently earned my BSN degree and nursing liscense in California after having been a Paramedic for 8 years in some of the toughest parts of Los Angeles County. I put myself through nursing school and earned every stripe on my shoulder.
This last summer I decided to pick up and move away from all friends and family to Houston, Texas, to work in the largest medical center in the country, to buid my experience in nursing, and ultimately to find the woman to spend the rest of my life with.
I have a home in Houston, and it's just me and my dog. She's a cute little mutt who is smarter than her own good. I call her a "Bassador", since she's half Bassett Hound and half Golden Retriever. She looks about as strange as she sounds. But I love her.
I am a Christian, and that is important for me to find in a future wife. But I'm not naieve, and have lived life on the wild side for a while, earned my stripes there too, and now have found that the very best way to live my life is by honoring God. I value integrity, and honesty, and I live my life so that when I give my word, my yes means yes and my no means no.
However, I also have a very dominant personality. I am a real man, in the sense that I do want to be the head of my household and family, that I'm not afraid of making tough decisions and I do feel the need to be the provider and protector of my family. Family is the most important thing in the world to me. This is not to say that I want my future wife barefoot and pregnant. It means I would make her my world, the primary focus of my life, and in turn, I would want to truly be her man. It would be safe to say that I completely disagree with modern liberal feminist philosophies that state that a woman is less of a woman if her man takes care of her. I want a woman who wants to be the woman, and wants her man to be the man. I don't think that would be hard when I would spend every waking moment thinking of her care, comfort, safety, and happiness.
Ultimately, I want to travel. After having worked here for a year or two, I want to do international travel nursing. I want to see the world and be paid to do it. I'd love to have a partner with me for the adventure. Truly, if I could live my dream, I would buy and own a 65' boat and sail from port to port and work in those different cities while living on the boat. I want to live the life of adventure, and passion.
Other career goals: I'd like to go back to school, preferably the University of Texas (I love the Longhorns) and earn my Acute Care Nurse Practitioner liscense. I'd like to be a flight nurse aboard helicopters, and I'd like to teach. I taught Paramedic school for 3 years on Los Angeles, and I loved it. I'd like to do it again.
I guess what they say is true, you can take the paramedic out of the field, but you can't take the field out of the paramedic. I like the rush, the adventure, the excitement, the newness, the adrenaline. I like it all. Now what I need is someone who loves it just as much and wants to do it with me.

Looking for:
Primarily, I looking for another nurse. Why? Because I want someone who can experience the same adventure I have dreamed about for so many years with me. I think it would be amazing to have the both of us traveling together, seeing the world together, and earning an incredible income together. What would be left to want?
Other reasons I am looking for a nurse: I value education and intelligence. Please have a college degree, even if it's an associates. I value the discipline and dedication any person who has put up with the hoops one must jump through to obtain a college degree. Also, I apprecaite a woman who can form her thoughts and ideas into cohesive statements and can have a decent discussion on matters. I do like discussing politics, current events, morality, religion, etc. So intelligence is an essential piece of the woman I am looking for. I also like a woman who wants to go back to school, or further her career and overall better herself. That's very sexy.
The third and final reason I want a nurse is the nurturing nature of the profession. I believe all nurses, all good nurses I should say, follow this calling because they truly have a heart for other people. I think a woman with this heart already inside of her truly can be the best wife and mother immaginable. I love a woman with a compassionate heart, a willing spirit, and a loving soul.
I'd like to find a woman who is a Christian and who walks in that lifestyle. This is something that is very important also, since I believe that what a person believes affects their overall character. I'd like a woman with a character that reflects the furits of the spirit: Peace, joy, patience, goodness, gentleness and self-control. Also, I think the morality taught by scripture is the best way to live, and I would like to have that shared morality with my future partner.
I'm very much a team player and like the thought of having a partner. I would still like a woman who wants to be a woman, and enjoys traditional gender roles, and is looking for me to be the man of the relationship and family. Men do some things better, and women do other things better. That's not to say anyone is worse or better, just different. It's okay to be different. The differences should be loved, respected and admired, not forced to be the same. (I disagree with most feminist philosophies, and I hope my future wife does as well). I love how the book of Ephesians gives one paragraph on how wives should submit to their husbands, but how it gives five paragraphs to husbands how they should care for, nurture and protect their wife. I agree with this whole-heartedly.
I guess that about sums it up and should paint a fairly good picture of who I am and what I am looking for. I'm sure it's a tall order, but good Lord willing, she's out there and I'll find her. Best of luck to you on your search and thank you for looking at my profile.
