I signed a non compete 4 yrs ago wirh my current emplyeer. since then no other nurse I have worked with has had to sign one when they started. Is mine still valid if the company is no longer making new employeyes sign these or even mentioning them?

None of the other nurses I have spoken with had to sign a non compete. I had to when I was hired in 2013. But all the nurses since then say they never had to and it was never brought up. Would mine still be valid if they are not having any other new employees sign them?

That's an interesting dilemma. Were you the first nurse hired there or were you simply the last nurse to be required to sign the Non-Compete Agreement (NCA)? NCAs must be reasonable in scope (duration, geographic location etc.). There must also be some tangible consideration provided to you for you to be bound. E.g., your employment, a salary, benefits etc. Do you hold any supervisory or administrative role over the other nurses? Are you paid more? These are questions I'd further investigate. Are you thinking of leaving?
