Amethyst rn came into my room after 1.5 hours of noone in the room. She stated "Im going to give some insulin and send you on your way." I was agitated, not feeling good, elevated blood sugar, and pain and swelling in hand from cat bite. I asked why no one had been in and she said " they were busy" . My voice was raised in conversation but direct and respectful. She stated they were waiting for results. When I asked about results she became defensive and disrespectful. I asked why I was not offered Tylenol for pain, an ice pack, or water to drink. I told her I got a blanket from the ct tech. I also stated I was there because I didnt feel good and upset I had to delegate and anticipate my own needs. She became uoset and threw a syringe with insulin down on a tray. I immediately asked for a manager as she left the room she mumbled some sass to me and left. I could here people later talking " you dont have to go back in there" I never saw a manager, physician, charge nurse.... The np than came in with amother RN and started right in anout the insulin. I questioned how this made sense. Np said "you're going to get an infection with high bs and went on re cat bite saliva, bacteria, dm prohibiting healing.....I questioned how lowering my bs with insulin 1x was going to fix it. She stated" well you will resume your oral dm meds at home" I had repeadetly advised numerous staff that I wasnt responding to the meds because of hx of UC, crohns,  and small amount of colon. I refused the insulin . I have never taken insulin and was not comfortable taking it not feeling well, getting in my car, and driving home alone. A dose from a bs read 2 hours prior.  When I asked about the bloodwork and xr results she was short answering "they're fine" . I have never had such a horrible experience.  I did let them know I am a nurse and worked for Aurora and believed this was abhorrent.  The RN Avayen (?) Who went over paperwork was empathetic. Polite, respectful, and their saving grace. Amethyst could benefit from further education and in service. I plan to file a formal grievance.
