I'm a nurse and I love my job. I used to work in the ER and I really enjoyed it. SOmetimes it was stressful but overall it was a great place to work. I think the ER tech job sounds great. It would be a good place to use your skills. I went to nursing school on a grant from the hosital and I had to work there for 2 years afte I graduated. Maybe you could look into something like that. I agree with Sheba, don't hold yourself back. Do what YOU think would be a rewarding job. BY the way, I now work in a nursing home and most of the CNAs that I work with get a lot of satisfaction knowing that they are making a difference in peoples lives. There is a lot more to it than wiping butts.
