1. You could ask the nurse manager to reassign you to work with different people and not that particular nurse.
2. You could talk directly to the nurse about your concerns to make her aware that you are trying to establish a better relationship.
3. You could find other nurses she is bullying/being rude to and with those nurses as a group confront her, so she realizes there is a decent-sized group who can bring a human resources action against her. There is power in numbers.
4. You could secretly leave an article about being a nicer person and a nicer work colleague in her work mailbox. (only do this if no one will see you and there are no cameras at your workplace. Getting caught might look bad.)
5. You could drop hints around her about how you liked your last job a lot (don't say "better") because your co-workers at your last job were very supportive and morale was high. Doesn't she think it's important to work at a job where morale is high and employees help each other out?
6. You could frame your complaint as a patient's complaint or another nurses's complaint and say to her that you are speaking on behalf of that anonymous person who is concerned.
