Am I wrong? Or am I being Harrassed?

Ok So I've been at this hospital for about ten years or so.. Started off from the ground up as a CNA.... Now as a RN I pretty much know everything to do with my floor, and department. I get along great with everyone. I feel like its my second family. The last month I have been getting in trouble by one of the nurse educators regarding my time punches, the way I note orders, to expired tubing not being changed. I am NOT excusing anything that I did. Some of the things she had pointed out were true and maybe after ten years I might be getting sloppy. The Biggest problem is, though that she points out all these things in a very degrading way, she announces it in the nurses station in front of my other colleagues and pretty much ruins my day. I have never seen her do this to any other staff and I don't know why she is all of a sudden picking on me. I have Come on to shift with IV's infiltrates , IV 6 days old, bad charting, and things of that nature and those things are not being corrected and keep going on. I Want to quit, I think its sad but I feel really BAD and I don't understand what is happening. One of my collegeus who heard told me she never saw her talk to any other person like that before and if something was wrong she said it in a nicer way. I don't want to tell the director becasue they are life best friends and I think Id rather quit.... WHAT do YOu think?

Maybe she has targeted you for some reason un be known to you, it's hard to say. I had a coworker who was fairly similar to this, she was a lovely person for the most part and then all of a sudden out of no where she was nagging me, complaining about me, belittling me in front of other co workers and patients. Not only did this irritate me immensely but it also made me feel very unhappy and dread going to work to see what drama i would be facing once i started the rounds. In the end it turned out to be that she was having some issues in her private life and for no aparrent reason she decided to single me out and cause hell for my life at work to make herself feel better. In the end she left for a couple of months, eventually came back good as she was before the nasty streak showed it's ugly head, and she did apologise to me for her behaviour, i made sure that in front of other coworkers that i told her that she is not to treat me in such a disrespectful, unprofessional manner again, infront of anyone, co workers, patients or in private and that i will not tolerate such bad actions. She was embarrassed by this and to this day she remains a lovely person to work with.

That could be true for this person too, from what i understand she recently lost her long time friend and boyfriend to an illness. He too was a coworker in a different department. I had thought about that earlier but didn't think that she would mix her personal life and work. I guess though that is another possibility. I am pretty sure this should blow over too. We will see though...If it doesn't I already have a couple of other jobs lined up and plenty of recommendation letters from my boss and coworkers. That is what gets me too, that my boss, charge nurse, and other coworkers seem to appreciate me sooooo much, but then I get complaints from this one person about my performance. It just doesn't make sense. I think I am a good nurse, I think I have things I can improve and make better like a lot of people too. I just don't seem to understand WHY the harshness with me. If she thinks I need to improve I will, but there was no NEED to be so HARSH and MEAN. I just don't understand, I also tend to think this is the NURSES EATING THIER YOUNG BIT, but I don't knw.
