Nurse not respecting privacy

"Nurse not respecting privacy"

About: Community Nursing Services / Nottingham West Community Nursing

(as the patient),

Having had a extremely helpful, caring and lovely male nurse look after me for a very long time, he was also the only one I felt comfortable opening up to regarding issues, this included personal life due to my "mental state" given I was having a rough time.

Another nurse at the time, found it wise to try and get into my personal life, then when I gave a slight inkling into it, and how it had changed, she then had the audacity to complain to my usual nurse who was simply respecting my confidentiality for not telling her! I find that highly disturbing and also disgusting.

I open up to a nurse of my choice, a friend and another one comes along and complains to him for not telling her the details. If I wanted her to know I would of told her! I almost feel violated.
