I'm sorry this happened!

My state recently passed a bill and it is now a felony to assault a nurse. Not much help for you, but something to push for in the future.

In the immediate, have you filed a police report? I would.

Also file for worker's comp as this was a work related injury and if the hospital and union keep stalling you, consult a lawyer.

It is not OK for nurses to put up with this kind of situation. Being assaulted at work is never a justified thing! Fight back for your right to feel safe at work.

And take time to heal.
