I am in doubt if my former employer can really keeping me from staying in contact with a patient that I took care of when I worked for them.



Both the patient family and myself really want to stay in contact on a personal basis. I do not want to try to provide any type of nursing service or advise to them at all.



I signed a no compete clause and the way it was explained to me was that I couldn't work for a competing company for a period of 2 years. There was never any mention of not being able to maintain a friendship.



How can i approach this situation? How can i manage this position without risking my professional image?
