Contact the hospital, and also contact your primary care provider to see whether your state has a professional ethics board for nurses and/or mental health professionals to whom you can report this behavior as well. There's a decent chance that he's preying on other women who were patients of his, so, in addition to…

Thank you all so much for your responses. I have to say that I felt oddly complicit in this situation, as though I had somehow led him on by sitting and talking to him. Your replies have been incredibly validating and have made me feel less paranoid. I will be contacting the hospital this week. Thanks again!

Report him.

Really? Dont ruin his life? Do you know how vulnerably patients are in psych care? They should be allowed to move on after discharge without creepy staff stalking them. Do you want him to lose his job? Yes!!! And to never work as a nurse again. He is soooooo irresponsible and MUST be reported.

You need to report him to the hospital and you need to follow up with them to make sure that he has been fired. Print out everything you have. Make copies. Take it to the hospital. Make sure they know that you're going to also report this to whatever organizations accredit them. And the police. You are not the first…

I'm a nursing student and this is so, so wrong. It goes against everything I was taught about patient privacy. Please report it to the hospital. That nurse is being seriously unethical and unprofessional.

Are you insane? Do you really think that this is the first time he has done this? This guy needs to loose his job. He needs to loose his job and never be allowed to work in a medical facility or with vulnerable populations again.

Ten minutes after I deleted him, he writes me another long message asking me why I removed him, and then saying that it's okay to be nervous given the level of our connection. Then he sent me another friend request.

There are codes of ethics for professionals that *forbid* this exact situation. Doesn't matter if this guy's feels are hurt, he is violating his professional code and maybe some laws too. Tough shit if he loses his job. He knows the rules, he can deal with the consequences.

CONTACT THE HOSPITAL! Oh man this is so inappropriate and I got stressed out reading your post. Contact the hospital; start a paper trail. This is not stable behavior, you're definitely not paranoid.

Contact the hospital. That's hello' creepy

Why would you need to have consequences for a medical procedure?

Sorry but a resounding no. How about instead of punishing women for not feeling sufficiently bad about a choice they made we make birth control widely and readily available to women of all ages, without judgment, and provide appropriate fact-based sex education to kids in school.

I don't know if replying to your note will bring it out of the grey, but I'm gonna try. Your story needs to be heard.

"I know a lot of women who have had abortions, nice safe legal ones, and not one of then was not traumatized"

We're not killing small babies here. We're aborting insensate, unformed zygotes or embryos or—where the laws don't ruthlessly delay and hamper the process until it's painfully late in the pregnancy—early-term fetuses, not formed, not yet even remotely developed enough to be recognizable as babies, to experience, to…

Have you written a full post about your experience to put on GT? If you haven't, please do. Your voice is important.

+10 internet points for use of "fard".

What I read in coverage of this elsewhere was that some of the subjects wore make-up and some didn't, but they key thing was that they didn't get primped and styled and whatever at the shoot itself, and the images weren't digitally altered afterwards. So however they looked when they turned up, that's how the photo…
