What is the order of staff in a mental facility?

Question: I am interested in understanding the medical staff and their jobs at mostly a mental hospital. In order from the lowest to the highest please.

Answers:
attending - a doctor that has finished all their training
Resident - Gone to medical school, did their first year and is finishing up their training
Intern - first year out of medical school. You will never see one of these in a mental facility because interns in mental health have to do a year of internal medicine
Medical student - first 4 years after better their bachelors degrees. Don't ever listen to anything these kids have to say.

Advanced practice nurse - have a masters in nursing and can do one on one councilling. Some are nurse practitioners and can perscribe medications
Staff Nurse - have a degree in nursing, either diploma, associates, or bachelors
Mental Health Techs- have at minumum 4 college courses, most have bachelorsdegrees
