Reason for leaving answer/Need advice

I resigned the first time ever suddenly with no notice. Ive been a nurse for nearly 10 years and finally had it with the hospital I worked. An old manager cheated my out of wages, position, not to mention tried to ruin my reputation as a desperate attempt to prevent my promotion. This woman was out to get me no doubt. So I transferred to another department for refuge and healing. Thats when a reported Hurricane 4-5 was predicted to hit my area AGAIN. Ironically, after a year of being out of my house for previous hurricane damage repairs, I was just moving back in that weekend the next hurricane was due to blow us away! I had made plans to sleep at the hospital with my daughter because I was scheduled to work that weekend. However, when I brought our luggage up we were told we had no room as promised, and were to sleep on the floor with a blanket and pillow there. Now come one folks, something is wrong with that picture! I dont mind sleeping on the floor as long as I have proper provisions. Leadership failed to operate with proper safety and health needs of employees by not giving us time to get a sleeping bag or air mattress at least! Well, to make a long story short, I was fed up. Between my ex manager cheating me just a few months before this, and my home being torn up for a year and having to move back the weekend ANOTHER hurricane was gonna hit, my son stranded in another state, breaking up with an ex boyfriend, my ex husband causing me grief signing insurance checks, dealing with crooked, lying, contractors, my dog staying at a kennel with a flimpsy fiberglass roof about to get blown away, and now being told me and my daughter were gonna sleep on the floor after working 12 hours on my feet with no place to shower, while they have TONS of empty beds availabe (we discharged most of the patients because of the hurricane), I HAD ENOUGH. So, I called in an hour before my shift and gave my verbal resignation.

The House Supervisor was understanding and told me she didnt blame me telling me ALOT of people quit. However, when I went to collect my Paid Time Off pay, I was told that I lost it because of "Job Abandonment!" According to policy, its considered job abandonment when one fails to show up for work for 2 consecutive shifts. I didnt do that! I called in and resigned. So, I emailed HR and asked them what my "Rehire Status" was and they told me I am elligible for rehire! Now, if they consider me as job abandonment then why am I elligible for rehire?

I said all this to ask....

What woud you tell the next potential employer as the reason you left your last position? Plus, I took this entire year off cause candidly I think I had an emotional stroke. I even wondered if I wanted to continue in a Nursing Career. I even wondered why I became a Nurse. As time passed and I sought healing from God and listening to wonderful, encouraging, inspiring and truthful messages at my new Church, I discovered that I am a Nurse by choice, however, God has given me a unique talent and gift to assist people to wholeness both physically and emotionally. They say "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger," and I believe that! I miss nursing so much....thankful I had the finances to stay off a year as many do not have that luxury, even though I am a single mom.

I appreciate anyones advice as to the best thing to say during my next interview. I have even entertained the idea of going back to the same hospital I resigned from, to see about working on a different floor since they did say I was elligible for rehire. Also, I really, really, liked this hospital with the exception of two managers there. Somehow, I feel in my heart- the right thing to do - is to go back and make it right because its not like me to just resign without proper notice irregardless of the wrong things some of the managers did to me themselves.

I just need someones help! Someone whose resigned without notice, is a PCM, or even someone familiar with HR and how open should we be about questions iike this?
