The author, who identified herself as a current nurse named A, said, "Through a nursing student I met by chance as a hobby, I heard the news that senior nurse B, who used to assault and verbally abuse me, has become a university professor. My heart started pounding the moment I heard that name," and detailed the bullying she endured.

A said, "Among the seniors who bullied me particularly harshly, B made things the hardest for me," and confessed, "There were countless verbal abuses, assaults, insults to my parents, and she even poured sputum cups taken from patients over me."

She added, "If I failed to properly move heavy equipment or do my work, she would hit my solar plexus and other areas," and appealed, "I often wished she would just hit me quickly without yelling or cursing. Sometimes I even hoped she would throw a punch first today."

She also said, "She once looked at the lipstick I was using and said, 'You look ugly because you use such cheap stuff. You should use OO (a high-end brand) like me,'" and vented, "She called me ugly every day, so I couldn't stop wearing makeup, but since the verbal abuse only stopped when I cried, I went home every day with panda eyes."

A said, "One day, she mentioned my mother who suffers from chronic renal failure and smirked, saying, 'Your XX hurts because you're such an unlucky X,'" and appealed, "I couldn't sleep that night and cried alone so much I don't even know."

She continued, "B always hit only the parts covered by the uniform, but I was assaulted with kicks behind the knees, punches below the collarbone, hits to the solar plexus, pinching of the armpits and sides, and elbow strikes to the back," and claimed, "Most of my upper body was covered in purple bruises all year round. I don't think there was a single day when my skin was intact."

Recalling the past, she said she went to join the labor union with photos of her bruised upper body but ended up submitting her resignation after an employee said, "Even nurses who lost their pregnancies due to retaliatory shifts from unplanned pregnancies didn't come, so why did you come?"

As the post received over 1,000 comments and heated reactions, she posted an update on the 8th, saying, "I heard that B has been attending work normally," and added, "I expected it, but it feels bitter."

She also said, "I hope new nurses will not shed tears like I did," and revealed, "I have written a Blue House petition demanding the prevention of nurse bullying recurrence."

Meanwhile, the university where B is a professor is reportedly conducting an investigation into B regarding A's allegations.
