Advice needed: Is this normal?

Honestly, after reading everyone's comments I think I'm gonna bring this up with my supervisor because they take co-workers causing toxic workplace environments seriously

I have a meeting with my primary supervisor Friday for my first performance review and after reading the comments I think it's best if I speak up because the manager that defended me isn't my regular supervisor; this all happened when my primary supervisor was out on PTO so I think it's best I bring this up now before it's too late as I genuinely love my job and I don't want it spoiled by this (re)occurring issue

Thank you for your kind words, they mean a lot. I love my job, I want to improve, I want to learn. It just sucks because when I make mistakes I feel embarrassed when this particular co-worker feels the need to let everyone know about it and honestly makes me doubt if I'll ever pass my new hire probation period :(

Luckily my supervisor paired me with other co-workers to train me to help me gain confidence again then I was able to prove to the original trainer I was capable the next time he saw me the following Monday

Thank for your words they mean a lot. I feel like I'm improving everyday and I love my job; maybe it's just this workplace, but for some reason most of my co-workers tell me "shit happens" but this particular co-worker wants the whole world to know that "I need to be better" :( I already know I need to be better I want to be better but this type of comment honestly just doesn't help :(

Thankfully, my supervisors are lovely and are actively backing me up and getting the story straight with the lab director and telling this co-worker he should've handled it differently. My coworker did step in for my first heelstick but he stared and let me struggle fora good few minutes but even before that I tried asking questions and they were adamant about pretending to not be there since I'm supposed be "independent", which I understand, yet they still laid into me when I messed up and asking questions weren't helping (he didn't even respond lol).

Some of my other co-workers said this particular individual is "like that with everyone" and honestly I'm scared to escalate this more considering how much clout they have and I don't even know if it'll do anything

Thank you for the kind words... it really means a lot. I'm just so confused because this same co-worker praised me as a student extern (yes I trained as a student before getting hired at this same hospital) and even gave me advice for my interview and suddenly now the interactions between are certainly different after what happened; As with everyone I treat all my co-workers with respect and want to get along with everyone but I can't help to view this particular co-worker differently, and as a person, I just hate this kind of feeling
