I agree with all of the posters on this topic, but Yoda accurately touched upon some key points of nursing benefits.

Getting a Bachelor's or Master's degree in nursing opens so many doors. You can always choose to practice in different arenas, if one rubs you the wrong way. Nurses in hospitals often specialize in that type of unit (neurology, cardiac, pediatrics, etc.), but there are lots of different nursing jobs. You don't have to work at a hospital.

I was a CNA at a nursing home for 3 years. It was a big responsibility, but the rewards of caring for very ill &/or elderly people were huge for me. I loved it! I got to know the residents, as human beings. This made me more perceptive of changes ~ and I let nurses know about injuries and illnesses. A sad reality is that injuries often go undetected because of low levels of interaction and/or lack of communication between shift workers.

The residents often became very attached to the CNA's, because we had many interactions with them. That was perfect for me, because I cared a lot about each one of them. Some CNA's and RN's don't want any attachment developing & are therefore rather brisk with patients (or residents). In my experience, no patient (long or short-term) appreciates snippy and emotionally removed nurses. Compassion is a necessity! If you are very compassionate, go for nursing! Very best wishes to you
