Advice please
I was out with my nursing friend this weekend and we ended up at an after party. During this time she was significantly drunk and she was approached by someone she found out to be a sibling of one of her old patients. She did try to leave and several times she said she shouldn’t be there, she doesn’t believe she breached any patient confidentiality in terms of care plans and such but she did tell the sibling that the service user is loved and cared for. Since the party Saturday night she’s been anxious and very worried that she would be reported to the NMC due to this, she did tell the sibling she doesn’t work at that trust anymore or with the service user.
She’s already beating herself up a lot about it as she knows she should’ve left but she was past the point of being drunk and she left shortly after that. Is there any advice anyone can suggest I give her?
