I'm sorry; I don't think so.
If he is a nurse, it is totally unethical. He can lose his professional license for pursuing a patient, especially in a psych facility. I'm sorry to be blunt, but I am an RN, and it is not worth losing our license. There are just too many other (legal) fish in the sea.
When I was in my psych clinical, I found myself having to be careful how I interacted with my male patients for this same reason. However, looking at someone intently (in order to assess their affect, mood, and basically all of their non-verbals) is part of the job. Especially if that someone is non-communicative i.e. walking away from us. If someone doesn't talk to me, how else am I supposed to figure out what is going on other than to look at them intently? Same goes for him.
Edit: I am wondering why he read your diary. However, in a psych facility this is not unheard of...but they won't read it unless there is some incredibly good reason to do so. I'm not going to go into those reasons, because I have no idea what the situation was, and I don't want to seem like I'm accusing anyone. Basically, you have rights in the hospital, but there are also boundaries. (And, after reading those things, he now, professionally, has to stay away from you)
