Yes... there were some articles in our local newspaper about this a while back. It seems nursing has become a "trial-by-fire" sort of occupation, sad to say. I worked in 3 different hospitals doing nursing assistant type work many years ago while I was going to college. In two of them I worked in the emergency services departments. I don't recall ever encountering anything of the sort you describe, or as was described in our local newspaper. The world is becoming a sorry place I'm afraid... and a frightening one.

I hope that, in some way, you can find a path to a more compatible employment situation.
