I'm a nurse in a hospital and i'm close friends with the charge nurse on the unit. I went to CPEP and I had to be medically cleared before I went back to work. During that time, the charge nurse showed my manager texts that I sent to him. One of them was when I told him the first time I cut myself. Another of them was when I said I didn't think I wanted to be alive anymore. I had sent him those texts in confidence because I thought we were friends. But he showed them to my manager and she wrote them down and sent them to the psychiatrist who had to evaluate me before I went back to work.
Am I wrong for thinking that was professionally inappropriate of him? He never told me that he had done that and I feel so betrayed. I understand that he was worried for me but informing my manager of my condition wasn't fair. Am I wrong?
