Were staff members at the previous job just mean to patients, or were they outright abusive? Should you be making a report to the state?
Some were/are just mean but not abusive. Several are pretty disrespectful. Not physical or (quite) emotional abuse. One nurse would often say things that would trigger them (we are in a psych hospital) and did once step over the line into outright physical abuse (as well as her documented emotional abuse) but this time it was witnessed by several people including some therapists. That nurse was written up, put on suspension, and last I heard they were determining if she'd be allowed back after her suspension was up or if it would be a perminant dismissal.
