I feel your pain. You are not alone, I've been on the same boat for a very long time. I admire your courage to move on, but it's not easy for most of us with families and kids. I have spent half of my life invested in this career and it's definitely not a walk in the park. All you have said is true and correct, it is sad how nursing nowadays has become. Hospital administrators look and talk to us pretending we are the future of the organization but the sad truth is we are all known by our employee ID numbers...Yes, we are just a number to them and very much dispensable. Don't let this be a deterrent to your good deeds, find and seek a better work environment out there. Explore nursing to the max.... life is too short to be stressing out, find consolation and comfort with your peers. Leave those abusive employers, dont risk your license. Have your self tested regularly for HIV virus recurrence, in the first sign of trouble sue them.
