Thanks ? these are great information and suggestions. I tried some of these suggestions yesterday and it seems to be working. She's now attaching herself to another young male nurse. ? But I'll continue to do my job and once it's done I'm out of her room.

Thanks for the replies. I appreciative the help and will try your recommendations. ?

Hi all, I'm a newly graduated nurse with 10 months work experience and could use some advice. I currently work in aged care and there's a resident who is in love/obsessed with me. ? She tries to find me when I work on different floors and expresses very weird feelings towards me. If I tell her I'm busy and can't talk. She pretends to be sick to seek attention from me. I have tried to give her time to talk chit chat with me but this seems not good enough for her. With 36 residents to care for I don't have the luxury to give her the time to talk and deal with fake illnesses. So I just deal with fake illness now but she will get agitated because I can't stand around and talk with her. This has been happening for months as well but the faking illnesses are getting worse recently. I was okay with it at first but now its starting to get out of control and annoy me. How do I handle this behaviour? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
