LINY24

Long term care facility in Long Island, NY starts at $15.51/hour for day shift, $.75 differential for evening shift, $1.25 for night shift. Loads of overtime over 40 hours available and double time on the weekends in the summer.

I understand the stress but it is technically abandonment if you clocked in for your shift and you then left, thus abandoning your assignment... the way it works at my facility is that you work for the FACILITY, not for a specific unit/floor. It's great to be assigned "permanently" to a unit of the facility but at any given time you can be floated and expected to work anywhere you're put based on the needs of the facility. It sucks being bumped but it happens to the best of us, sorry to say you were in the wrong here (not to take away from your stress/health situation, just being blunt here). Good luck and hope it all works out for you.
