Members do not see this ad.

so I work on a hospital floor as a tech and a patient gave a nurse a note( her number on it with my name on it) and asked her to hand it to me.

I texted her and she asked me out.

Did I make a mistake?

It might be considered unprofessional by some, but I don't think it's unethical once she is out the door. I don't think you have too much to worry about. Can anyone else chime in?

It's not like you walked into a patients room and propositioned them. She initiated and then you responded later, you're good. Although this does remind me of a time that a 19 year old patient proposed to an 8 month pregnant nurse with the pulse oximeter and then bawled their eyes out when she said no....

You're not in trouble, but please don't EVER do this again. It's tempting, I know, but don't !@#$ where you work. You got a potential crazy ex-gf that knows where you work now and if anyone finds out (and there will be gossip), you'll have a reputation. I have to remind myself this all the time when patients get too flirty.

Dude, u r a BALLER

If my first knowledge of an individual is "patient at hospital in which I work", that individual will never have a chance at having WheezyBaby's baby. That's the type of thing to be extremely conservative about. That said, if you were never involved in their care, you should be fine

No. You're fine. One of my wife's coworkers married a patient. They started dating after he asked her out, and she said maybe when he was discharged (a maybe that obviously turned into a yes).
