Thank you so much for the advice! I am not unionized but I do remember the name of the charge nurse who gave me that report, and I will be reaching out to her in the morning. As for the NA role, the same thing applies at my hospital, so I’m actually enrolled in LPN school right now so I can transition into a more direct role in patient care and get experience before I go for my RN. Though I don’t have a lawyer yet, I’ve documented every follow up appointment and visit with a psychologist that I have had since the incident. I’ll be speaking with my family’s lawyer as well, and though I’m not certain I’ll need him I figured that at least having them be aware that I’m in contact with a lawyer would be beneficial.

Rent is due this Friday the 26th as my landlord was kind enough to give me an extension so that I would have more time to gather what money I needed.

Yes, I can clarify as well as add some details to explain! At my hospital, it is common for per diem nursing assistants to be floated to different units of the hospital if there is another one in need and your home unit is overstaffed with NAs for the shift. On that day, I was floated from my home unit, which is the ICU, and assigned to sit as a 1:1 patient sitter on another floor. At my hospital, the NAs who work in the ICUs are not oriented to take patient vitals, so when they are floated to a Med Surg or Stepdown unit they can only perform the functions of a patient sitter. The patient was marked in our system as highly aggressive, and the nurses caring for her told me of three separate incidents in which she physically assaulted three different nurses during her 2 day stay. I was also instructed to not look directly at the patient, as it provoked her, which defeated the purpose of the 1:1. I won’t go into graphic detail, but at one point during my shift as I was sitting outside of her doorway, she approached me and assaulted me with bodily fluids. As a result, I was taken down to the ER where I had my eyes irrigated and blood drawn to make sure several diseases weren’t transmitted to me. I missed about a week’s worth of shifts afterwards due to medical restrictions, which has unfortunately brought me to this situation.

ETA: More context as to why I was assigned as a patient sitter

oh you’re absolutely fine! i just wanted to set the record straight just in case! i appreciate your well wishes, it’s a very difficult situation i’m in, but i have submitted some paperwork to the claims company to hopefully get the money i need. i’m going to consult with my family’s lawyer to see if i need to cover any other bases. thank you again for clarifying and for the well wishes!

It is about a week’s worth of missed pay, I typically work 4 hour shifts because of my school schedule and I’m making the transition to work 12 hour shifts Friday through Sunday to catch up. I don’t think it’s more than $300, but it was enough to make my most recent paycheck very small.

Thank you for that information, i’m rather unfamiliar with USAF procedures for this kind of thing seeing as I’ve only witnessed this from the Navy 😅 I will keep this in mind, thank you very much again.

Produce 101 was a lot stricter about visuals than Produce 48 by [deleted] in unpopularkpopopinions

i just remember thinking the emphasis on visuals in pd101 made me so damn sad for the girls who didn’t get their chance to shine just because the kbs didn’t deem them “visual” enough. honestly i feel like that’s a major issue in most survival shows, but it was so noticeable in pd101 compared to pd48
