OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The Nebraska Supreme Court has upheld a workers’ compensation ruling that requires a Kearney hospital to pay a former nurse who says she’s unable to work because of psychological injuries she received from three assaults at the hands of patients while she was on the job.

The woman says she suffers from posttraumatic stress disorder and depression as a result of three 2008 assaults.

Good Samaritan Hospital argued, among other things, that a psychiatric expert was wrong to determine the assaults were the cause of the nurse’s psychological disability and that past experiences, including a prior sexual assault, may have been the source of her trauma.

But the high court Friday noted the woman showed no signs of psychological trauma in her 15 years as a nurse before the attacks.
