Elizabeth Gilmartin and Nicola East both breached professional boundaries between July 13, 2021 and March 4, 2022, the Nursing and Midwifery Council's misconduct committee said. The trial was held.
The committee held virtual hearings on both women over nine days in late October.
Ms Gilmartin, who retired after nearly 40 years as a nurse, was ordered fired due to “deep-seated behavioral issues'' as a result of continued blurring of professional boundaries.
Ms East, who first qualified in adult nursing in 1993, was given a 12-month apprenticeship order for “taking positive steps to address the concerns”.
Conditions include ensuring she is supervised whenever she is working and maintaining a reflective practice profile.
The two nurses were working as band 7 specialist nurses for care leavers in Bradford District Care NHS Foundation Trust at the time.
The patient had been involved in organized crime, was suicidal, had been a victim of sexual exploitation, and had recently been transferred to the Leaving Care Team.
He was part of East's case for four months in 2021, after which she remained involved in his care when he was transferred to Gilmartin.
The hearing report said the two were involved in a similar “highly inappropriate” telephone conversation with a care leaver in September 2021.
East said in the conversation: “Because we care about you. We want you to do your best so you can take care of us when we're older. That's why we do it.” is.”
“I can't be in the same room with him. I want to kill him,” Gilmartin said of one of the staff members.
She also said, “Well, don't give me another AK47, because there won't be anyone left standing there.”
It was noted that Mr Gilmartin had “taken the lead” during the conference call, and the committee accepted that Mr East had not made any more serious comments.
But she engaged in it, engaged in it, and “did nothing to challenge the highly inappropriate content.”
Gilmartin also had two other inappropriate phone calls with patients, and on one occasion “revealed very personal details about a weekend date.”
East said he was “mortified” to hear the call back and claimed he was working behind the scenes and couldn't concentrate, but Gilmartin said he “deeply” regretted the call involving him. said.
Documents reviewed by the panel showed Gilmartin referred to herself as “Earth Mother” or “Mother” when speaking to patients.
The care user claimed Ms Gilmartin asked to be called by her name because “I didn't have a birth mother, but now I have an earth mother. They guide me.”
He said he thought it was “pretty weird” and claimed that Gilmartin claimed they were “excited that someone would call themselves 'Earth Mother'.”
Mr. Gilmartin denies that she ever asked the patient to call her in this way, instead saying that she sometimes texted him to tell him to “get up and get ready for college” and that she told him “nagging.” '', he claimed.
It was also established that Gilmartin gave patients greeting cards, Amazon gift cards and cash, and contacted patients after hours without a clinically justified reason.
Both nurses also failed to document important information disclosed by the patient in their records.
Ms Gilmartin said she “never intended to cause any harm” to patients by her actions or to cause “any offense to any other staff member discussed in the telephone conversation”.
Since then, Ms East has worked as a Band 5 nurse on the school's special needs nursing team, often under supervision.
She gave evidence of remorse and appeared “passionate and professional” during the trial.
The report said it was a “sharp shock” for East and she “learned her lesson.”
Both women have 28 days to appeal the decision.
