If Nick cannot help but believe Juliette is a monster because of his DNA, that should have been a red flag to him that he shouldn't have been trying to fix her. He can't be objective toward a person he has such an aversion to.
Nick as a Grimm was predisposed to see the worst in the wesen, however Nick continually worked to set aside the prejudices of his nature as bestowed him by his Grimm DNA. He did it with Monroe as he grew to know him and become best friends with and after getting over the shock of a human Juliette suddenly being a wesen, and the worst kind, he would have done it with her too but he didn't have the luxury of time to adjust. Nick got over his prejudices against hexenbiests much slower than he did the others.
The reason it took him so long is Adalind, that hexenbiest (even after the spirit within her died) had wrought so much more havoc in his life than any other particular wesen he'd ever faced. Juliette was not a monster but the woman he loved, he needed time to get over the traumatic transformation. If he could get over it with Adalind who was an actual enemy, surely he would have gotten over it with Juliette, his girlfriend. Nick had accepted that the transformation was permanent. The suppressant was meant to give Juliette a part of her former life back, some normalcy and time for both Nick and Juliette to move forward with their new normal. But she threw that away when she dropped the jar to the floor and embraced the very things that would make her monster in a literal sense and not the physical appearance.
Nick did what he'd always done and that was to fix a problem or fail trying, in this case one he personally felt responsible. To expect less from him is out of character. I've said a million times how the communication line between Nick and Juliette was atrocious since day one and none more apparent than in S4 when Nick was grimmless and finally when Juliette was a hexenbiest. Unfortunately, it's like they were talking over each other and the cracks that occurred beneath the surface over time were left bare by the transformation and they were too deep and wide to repair.
Nick was adamant on not giving up to fix the problem and Juliette had long accepted her fate as much as she hated it and yes, she too felt the hexenbiest was a monster (she taunted Nick about a Grimm being with a hexenbiest, exactly like Renard did when Nick confronted him about Adalind and Kelly). Nick's disdain for hexenbiests spanned three and a half seasons before he saw Juliette transform into one, Nick and Juliette reacted exactly the same but Juliette was weeks ahead of Nick. So giving Nick just a day or two to be cool with something so shocking is ludicrous in my book.
These people live in a world where the physical appearance of wesen is always described as monstrous by non wesen but that didn't always apply to the inward character of those wesen. Just because she looked like a monster, didn't actually make her one. Nick didn't see Juliette as the monster even if the hexenbiest (a spirit) that possessed her was one. Juliette only became a monster when she started down her destructive path against Nick and his friends ending in her "death".
If it suits you to see Nick as forever the bad guy over his shocked actions over those two days or however long it was as an affront towards Juliette, suit yourself. We'll have to agree to disagree.
As @Brandon has said plenty of times Juliette saw her new self as a monster and concluded that's how the others saw her as well even though Nick kept trying to reassure her. She never got over Nick turning his face away even though she'd been pushing his buttons and trying to get him to kiss her hexenbiest corpse like face, something that no other characters was forced to do on the show except when both parties actually wanted it, like Adalind with Renard and Monroe and Rosalee.
