How do I defend myself against this?

I would seek legal counsel. The fact that you were suspended shows that you are the underdog here. Nobody believes your side of the story, otherwise you would still be working. Sorry, can't give you any better advice unless you have witnesses willing to tell the truth.

    Well, did you do it? If you did & are trying to weasel your way out of it, get representation to help you. If you didn't & you need help convincing your boss, get representation to help you. If you have a private insurance policy, they may help.

    Why can't they ask the patient?

    Having worked at a facility that fired many staff I would suggest that they have suspended you while they obtain legal advise, with the view to firing you.

    You stated that you have been accused by a coworker, were there any witnesses who could defend you?

    If I was was you I would seriously consider resigning before I was fired, especially if this alleged name was in any way a racial insult.

    Well if it isn't true in any way, you have a target on your back. If it is true, you have upset staff and now have a target on your back. I would start looking for a new job regardless of the situation.

    Whether or not you did do it, I would contact your malpractice insurance provider and/or legal counsel.

    This. Guilty or innocent, you're now a marked nurse. Best you get out of Dodge and learn whatever you can from this experience.

    Best of luck.
