I’m a SBSN, but in my late twenties. I’m so excited about nursing, but have one major reservation that I keep thinking about. I’m terrified of being sexually assaulted or harassed by a patient I’m caring for. Like I’m really, really nervous about it. When I’ve brought up these fears to instructors, they brush it off. Make comments that are similar to “oh it happens”. Like alluding to I should just expect it at some point in my career and to try to just let it go. Some have even made jokes that hospitals wouldn’t help me when it does happen. Do I really just have to accept this as a fact to pursue my chosen career? I just have to be okay with getting sexually assaulted/harassed and now I just need to wait for when it inevitably happens?
