Pediatric patient- home nurse situations!?

[MomLPN4]

Hello! I am a nurse for a vent dependent child whose mother and father are currently living together but have not been romantically together since the Childs birth. I have worked there for nearly half of the Childs life- he was in the hospital for almost the first 13 months! Anyways the father and I began dating a while ago and I'm wondering if anyone else has had this type of experience before? The mother does not know and will be moving out shortly. They are currently in a heated custody battle although they were never married. I don't want to hurt her but at the same time she is not good with her child and only since he told her to get out has she paid attention to the child. But on the other hand I don't want anything that has happened between us to give her a leg up in court because the best thing for the child would be with his father- with or without me. Just need advice please!!

"My own personal feeling about this thread now is that it was written by someone who registers under a variety of names and posts scenarios like this one. I hope not, though."

I have my doubts about this situation too. If it is a true situation, then I hope what she said about removing herself from the case and ending the relationship is also true. But again, I have my doubts there too.

Agreed. Entire scenario sounds too contrived for reality. Hard to imagine someone doing this and speaking about it in such a manner.

We had over the weekend the worst one by miles . . .and they made me a target, so I need to keep paranoia in check -but there is another thread username "Lolita100" :uhoh21: I have a new appreciation for the mods who keep this site free from malicious people.

A two year old thread, wow, but here goes. I call bunk. Honestly, what ethical nurse does this?!

[BuckyBadgerRN, ASN, RN]

No I am not sorry that I posted this. I knew that nearly everyone would have nothing positive or nice to say. I guess I just wanted to know if anyone could relate bc I'm certain it's not the first nor the last time something like this will happen. Everyone is extremely judgemental until they have walked in someone elses shoes. So please do not pretend that everything you have done in your nursing career has been perfect and thanks for everyones input.

What positive IS there to say? I can't imagine getting involved with the father of the little one I cared for. Ew in so many ways! I don't think anyone is pretending that they are perfect as a nurse or even a human being. But I also think that there aren't many here who can say they've walked "in your shoes" because they have the good sense not to cross the moral, ethical, professional, legal line that you did

Exactly * I can't imagine it. And even if one were so inclined when would they have time?! I wonder what ended up happening.
