Completely in love with my psyche nurse (guy) was in hospital for three months,I've been there four times for three month intervals.I never really noticed this psyche nurse but this time he was my nurse nearly every other day.Can nurses put a preference for patients?
The other times I had a different nurse everyday,but this time he always seemed to be my nurse.I had massive sparks with him from the second or third day,another patient commented on it to me without me ever mentioning him to her (such are our intuitive powers,ha).
I am a 'schizophrenic' patient by the way,pretty mild in that i appear completely normal,functional,articulate,always the most immactuately groomed patient on ward and often mistaken for a staff member,I have episodes every six months,usually just visions.
Anyway with other patients and generally he appears reserved and very quiet with me he's overly chatty,always in a really good mood when he's going to be my nurse.we make intense eye contact a lot,it's a real rush being around him.
I talk to the nurses for hours about my views on everything,psychiatry,the whole idea of mental disorders,spirituality,my life,philosophy etc so this guy knows everything about me,what exactly do they write about us?
Anyway all I have is his first name and where he works and a few things he told me,I think he has my Instagram and name that's it.
Anyway patient relationships are a big no no,correct? I dreamt while in the hospital that I had a past life with him which would explain the massive sparks.
well turning my head clearly showing that I did not want to talk and him to insist for another 20 mins,he was completely in my face.i dont see how falling for him is any different to falling for some guy off the street it's not like our emotions become void when we walk into a psyche unit.
i dont think im delusional about him,many times he would try to talk to me and i would just ignore him.
he seemed to know things i had told other nurses weeks earlier,l was always so confused how he knew things.
He tried to talk to you because you were his patient and he was doing his job. He knew things that you had told other nurses because they charted these things or passed them on in report. I think you are likely being delusional if you think that him trying to engage you in conversation in the psych ward was anything more than him doing his jobs. All nurses attempt to engage with all of their patients every shift.
When you come right down to it, we're just strangers on the internet. You're completely allowed to have whatever feelings it is that you have. And lord only knows what your nurse was thinking or feeling. We'll never know! We're not there!
However, you should know that nurses have regulating bodies called (in the US) boards of nursing. Nurses are held to strict ethical standards, and universally, these ethical standards include not having romantic relationships with patients. There are a lot of good reasons for this, with the most important being that patients are vulnerable and initiating a romantic relationship with a patient would be an abuse of a nurse's power.
So unfortunately, unless your nurse is planning on not being a nurse ever again, that relationship just isn't going to happen. I mean, feel free to crush. Crushes are fun. But don't count on it turning into anything.

This.
I would add that if you have a history of delusions to understand that this is not going to come to anything, and your feelings may be due to your history; I hope you have regular contacts with a mental gelato professional to help with transitioning from those interactions that you think are romantic and to what it is but a nurse-patient therapeutic relationship and nothing more.
A guy has already said on here that he crushed on one of his patients so it's entirely possible that the feelings were reciprocated,I met other male nurses and didn't feel anything romantic.
i don't think you can chalk this up to a delusion,I don't have many delusions, and I thought we both became regular humans after discharge,but I see now that is not the case.
i still dream about this guy all the time,I believe in fate and all those sorts of meaningful things.
