i signed a non compete agreement with the company i currently work for but ive been offered a new job with a different company doing the same line of home health nursing care, however the nurse that interviewed me was a former employer from my current com

I'm trying to get a second nursing job but the employer that interviewed me used to work for the company im currently employeed with and we both signed non compete agreements but his agreement states he cannot take patients or nurses from the company and mine states i cant take patients, but im not trying to take anything i just need a second job and the emlpoyee that interviewed me is just needing a nurse to hire... so if i stay at current company and work for the new company is it breaking the contract????

If you read the archives in the answers of this website you will see that it is my opinion that non-competes come from the Devil's Workshop. They are fraught will all sorts of traps. Before you take this job I strongly suggest that you and your prospective boss engage an experienced attorney to review the actual language of the contract and advise you. As I have written many times before, do not mess with this matter. It could rise to bite you.

A lawyer will have to review the actual non-compete contract to provide guidance.
