Are the rest of your thoughts wanted?

if you get anxious so easily, then the career of nursing might not be right for you.
I do not see any issues with sexuality, and orientation is not even defined for everybody at your young age, but I do see an issue with the choice of occupation. I am not in the medical profession, but my understanding has always been that being in the medical profession requires presence of mind, high speed of reaction, and many other qualities incompatible with anxiety. Maybe you should seek advice from older people who are in the medical field to verify that you are on the right track.

Most people your age have been single for most of their lives. Nothing unusual about you, personally.

When I was three, I wanted to be a taxi driver, but when I grew up, I changed my mind and my direction following skills are quite mediocre. Not everything that you picture when you are young would come true. It does not mean that you are a lesbian, it just means that you should re-assess your expectations periodically as you go through your life.

it does seem likely and, again, this would be incompatible with being a professional nurse

Yahoo Answers are a very helpful service overall, but it is not set up to determine your sexual orientation. It just does not have this capability.
