Nervous is too mild. Enfermar los nervios is stronger than me hace nervioso. In think in English we can say drives me crazy, or makes me sick, drives me bonkers or any number of other terms a little stronger than
makes me nervous.

"Enfermar de los nervios" in Spain I think is literal, i.e. you have a psychological disorder like depression.
El jefe me pone muy nerviosa cuando me regaña. El jefe me pone de los nervios cuando me regaña (though this expression is sometimes used to mean "irritate").

If something makes you sick at heart, it's beyond nerves. It has something to do with deep sadness from a bad situation (I think it's similar to sentir congoja)

I don't think it was well used in the sentence you read, Lou Ann, unless you fall into a deep depression or extreme anxiety when the boss scolds you (enough to need a psychiatrist to help). I suppose that when the boss is mad at you must make you nervous, but the question is strange. That, to my mind, would mean you're always doing wrong things or that he's always scolding you. ![]() I would rather ask whether you get nervous that the bos might reprimand you. I think "ponerse nervioso" or "preocuparse" are the usual expressions for that. ¿Te preocupa que tu jefe te regañe? ¿Te pone nervioso que tu jefe te regañe? (It hasn't happened yet, but you may have done something wrong and expect a bad reaction from him.)
