See right now that's where I'm torn because we just finished our rotation. The only thing left to do is write the exam and get our marks back so I'm not sure if it's even worth bringing up! I'm just worried that if I don't bring it up now it might bite me in the butt later if she finds out and thinks I intentionally kept it from her.
Yeah I pretty much instantly regretted giving out my number. I guess you could say it was a moment of weakness. I had a bad day, ran into her and we talked and it just kind of came out.
So I'll start off saying I'm a student close to finishing my degree. I took care of a patient not to long ago and bonded a bit with her and her family. She's a high school student with a few family issues and health issues. She was discharged but recently we ran into each other again and I offered her my phone number as she's still going through a lot of stuff in her life. I'm now kind of regretting doing that as I know we should never cross the patient-nurse relationship. She hasn't used my number yet and I don't have hers so I can't say I've changed my mind. I've considered changing my number just because I don't want to get in trouble so close to graduating. Am I blowing this to far out of proportion? Should I not worry about her having my number? Should I change my number? I'm just kind of confused as to where the boundary line is as I'm no longer her nurse but because she's underage I feel like maybe it's safer to just change my number and drop contact.
