Former Employer Harassment

Published

I have a problem and I hope someone can help

I gave a 1 month notice to my former employer in March. I was asked a few days later I was asked to reconsider and did. My last day would have been in April. In 1st week of May I was approached and told that they were extending my resignation date til May 17th. The same resignation that was no longer on the table. On may 21st I was told my resignation was accepted immediately.

My issue is this. As the DON, I found that my employer was doing something possibly illegal. I went to Executive Director and was accused of a whole host of things. I went to the VP and he suddenly quit. I went to HR and was essentially told not to worry about it. I went to the new VP and was let go 10 days later. I reported them to the state. Stupid me has had some contact with some of my former coworkers. However, I have just gotten word that they are threatening to sue me for a citation they received. On top of this, they have been slandering me. As a nurse, how do I protect myself.
