What do you do when a patient tries to set you up with a member of their family?:redbeathe

If you have no interest you can always pull the ethics card.

Specializes in Med Surg, Hospice.

Always say "Sorry, have a fiance."

I politely say, "I'm really flattered that your interested in me or you think I would be a good fit for so and so, but I'm really not available."

Might want to at least think about it. A old grandma at our hospital decided to pick out a nurse for her grandson. Fresh out of law school, very handsome, considerate. Took care of his grandma on weekend so his momma could have some time off. He was quite a catch.

Did I mention he was soooo cute?

Nope, the ones of us that grandma liked were already taken ;)

Depends...friend of a patient, maybe. Family member of a patient I didn't take care of, possibly. Close relation to a patient I took care of, probably not. Not definite, but it would be kind of weird. Depends on the situation, I guess!
