question about nursing and back problems

Nurses Career Support

Published

Hello everyone,

I am currently a nursing student, but my husband is very concerned about my back. I have had 2 previous back surgeries and I don't know if this is the profession for me or not. I have been in the medical field for over 20 years but it has been mainly on the administrative side. This is something I have always wanted to do. Is there a speciality that would be better for me in the long run, say NICU or pediatrics? I eventually want to become a traveler but I don't know if the fields of NICU or pediatrics is in demand. Does anyone out there have any advice for me?

Thanks, justgwypat
