Wow, and I was stupid enough to believe abuse was a rare happening. Was I wrong. Thank you all for replying and for your encouragement to do the right thing!

Thanks, Ladies. I know what I would have to do now. I did before. I would still be scared but I would still do it.

Anyone even witness any verbal/emotional abuse of patients by nursing staff? Like keeping an old demented patient in a wheelchair at the nurses' station all night, and laughing at the patient and taunting the patient. Standing over her. Trying to intimidate her into being compliant. Which she can't be, of course, because she's demented, and there are no restraint orders and no sedatives ordered. What did you do about it? All of this just a hypothetical situation of course. If you reported it, did you still have a job when everything was over?
