To help you we need to know what species your ant is, but from your picture one can barely tell if this is an ant at all. ;)
Hi,
My advice would also be to put it in a tube with some cotton and water. You can see how to make it on the picture below. As long there is water behind the cotton she will be ok.
I would not sugest to try to find some workers for her. From my own experience I can tell you that the queen will probably kill the worker as she will feel threat from it. It is best that she raizes her own. She will have more chanse for success if she not disturbed much and not in stress from all sorts of vibrations. It is imporant that you try to leave it as much alone as possible.
If she feels ok in the tube in few days she will lay eggs... in few weeks this eggs will turn into larva and fortnight after you will have coocons. Then another few weeks and ... voila... first worker. From there it will go fast.
But like people already told you. It takes lots of time and whole lot of patience.
Good luck and keep us informed
