What is Chapter 2, Section 13:
Competency for Licensure/Certification Continuing In Or Returning To Practice.
A nurse wants to date or even marry a former patient. Is this considered sexual misconduct?
Maybe... The keyword here is former. The following are important factors to consider when making this determination:
What is the length of time between the nurse–patient relationship and dating? What kind of therapy did the patient receive? Assisting a patient with a short-term problem, such as a broken limb, is different than providing long-term care for a chronic condition. What is the nature of the knowledge the nurse has had access to and how will that affect the future relationship? Will the patient need therapy in the future? Is there risk to the patient?
