nursing and scoliosis

CNA's have the highest rate of back related injuries in the health care industry.

Although many people with back problems go into nursing, and some of those will encourage you to do ahead and do it, I personally don't think it's a good idea, because at first it's going to be difficult to find a job where you aren't on your feet for 8 to 12 hours a day. The fields where one isn't working so hard are usually reserved for those with experience, but getting that experience might cause you pain and injury.
