Is the noncompete still enforcable for nursing?

I worked as a nurse for a home health agency and one day, after being there for 10 months, my employeer asked me to sign a noncompete clause or be terminated. I was still terminated within a week. As per nursing law and responsibilities, I informed my patients that I would no longer be caring for them. I did not inform them that I had another position and where I was going. Some of the patients stated that they didn't want another nurse and that they wanted to go with me to the other agency. I informed them that they had to cancel their services with the current agency first. I still did not tell them where I was going. If they cancelled then that was fine but if not I didn't care either. Am I still responsible for the noncompete?
