@PreparationH you gotta pull out of this line of work before you find something new that's worthwhile. There are two reasons for this:

1: as long as you're busy working, you simply don't have the energy & time to look for something else. So it doesn't get off the ground.

2: you're pretty traumatized by your job (understandably so) and as long as that trauma plays in the foreground, it's going to cloud your decision-making. Distancing yourself from what's happening now will give you a different perspective in which you can more clearly see what's really important to you. It'll help you to decide what you DO want in your work, instead of being preoccupied with what you DON'T want.

The more time you can take to step back from what you're doing now, the better. This is generally determined by economic factors; i.e. how long can you afford to free-wheel? A stop-gap measure could be to pull out of nursing and start working part-time in a gym, and work the bare minimum hours you require to make ends meet. Use the rest of the time to network your way towards new lines of work.

I can't help you figure out what you want to do; the only thing I can say is that it's not going to find you. You'll have to go out and look for it, and in practice, this means (1) talking to lots of people and figuring out what they're doing and what kind of opportunities they can open up for you and (2) (at a later stage) try some things out and see if they fit.

Good luck; I can relate to the situation you're in and it's a tough one. But with a little bit of luck, you can come out the other end a different and happier person.
