It's embarrassing enough I had to call her for help because I couldn't trust myself to make the step, but to be advised to learn to code while I'm in hospital as I'm leaning on her in nothing but a towel is a new level.
Then again this is the same woman I overheard tell the afternoon guy that I'm "a bit useless" when they switched shifts so I shouldn't be surprised.
Report her. She is failing her duty of care to you.
Yeah I'm gonna ask the evening nurse how to go about that when he comes in. She's making me feel ten times worse about things and like, I'm really God damn trying my best and yet she acts like I'm trying to get away with doing nothing and making her do it.
The hospital should have some kind of ombudsman or patient advocacy office. They'll have a representative who comes up to meet with you and take the complaint. That nurse shouldn't be on the floor.
Maybe try recording your interactions with her with your phone so you have evidence to show someone that works there that has authority over her. Her behavior sounds mostly passive aggressive but if you can record her saying you're useless or something then that's perfect for getting back at her. I really hate when people in positions of power pull shit like this.
my mom's a nurse, and she says places are usually so understaffed they rarely care if someone breaks the rules
