Nosy Co-worker

Hi all!

I work in a clinic and have been there 4 months now.

One of the nurses I work with has been getting a bit too personal lately.

Basically, I started browsing around for a house. This nurse, I'll call her "nancy" gave me a reccomendation for a realtor. So, we found a house and are in the middle of closing the escrow. We had a couple issues with the loan company and "nancy" decided to call the realtor and complain about how we were treated. Throughout this conversation of nagging on the realtor, nancy found out a tidbit of information about some problems with getting us a loan from the realtor.

THe next day at work, Nancy comes in and starts talking about this problem we had with the loan (that my husband and I weren't even aware of!)

I got upset and pulled Nancy aside just the two of us and asked her if she had any questions, to consult me, not my realtor. (I reamed my realtor later)

Long story short, she got very upset that I was angry she had called the realtor about MY problem. Now she won't talk to me at work and is giving me the silent treatment.

Is there any ideas on how to handle this? My supervisor is already aware and thinks I should just leave her alone until she gets over her tizzy fit.

Leave her alone and realize now what kind of person you are dealing with. I would go to the point of being cool and professional and just plain avoid her. You can't inadvertently be drawn into conversation about yourself if you are not in close proximity to her. This was your personal life. Can you just imagine what she is capable of when it comes to the workplace?

sounds like a personality disorder... STAY AWAY!!!!

silent treatment is a plus for you good riddance

Thanks guys, I'll stay away from her as much as possible, but the reality is that we are in the same 10 x 12 nurses station the majority of the day. So hopefully it will work itself out. I've already reported the problem to the proper supervisor so I've handled it as professionally as I can.
