Dating Patients
-
0Jan 5, '05 by bobnurseAnyone here ever date/go out/marry a patient. I personally have never done it, but have seen it happen....i recall one time a male nurse dated a patients daughter...We got her on our floor one day after she attempted suicide, he had cheated on her.
Another employee dated a patient and married them........They both were married prior.......
Just curious if anyone else has seen this - 65,674 Visits

I once had a patient's son bring me gifts that I had to politely refuse each time.
That's just too creepy.DeLanaHarvickWannabe likes this. -

2Jan 5, '05 by TweetyAll kinds of things happen in this crazy world of our. Teachers date students, doctors date nurses, bosses date employees, and nurses date patients. I slept with my history profressor once, (when I was 20, young and cute) after the class ended.
I don't think it's all that common however. If it is, people are wisely keeping it discreet. I've never seen it happen.Last edit by 3rdShiftGuy on Jan 5, '05DizzyLizzyNurse and DeLanaHarvickWannabe like this. -

Unless it was in conjunction with violence.
I'm not sure what the policy over there is but here we can't date a pt or any of their family members for a period of time after care has been terminated. That's what i meant by consequences.
Reason being the family of the pt may be suffering and unstable as a result of their loved ones illness (plus other reasons)...hence the time restriction. Sounds like the pt's daughter was obviously pretty unstable so I'm curious how long he waited until he dated her. - 0Jan 5, '05 by bobnurseQuote from z's playaShe was a patient for a week or so, and i think he started dating her the last few days she was there. And No, nothing happened to him....It was a bit awkward........But nothing happened to him as far as disciplinary action.I'm not sure what the policy over there is but here we can't date a pt or any of their family members for a period of time after care has been terminated.
