Do I want to be a nurse?

[oregon guy]

I am currently taking prerequisites that will apply somewhere in the medical field, which I am positive I want to be a part of. I have been heading toward radiation therapy which sounds great to me, but with nursing there is so much opportunity as far as the wide array of the type of work I could do. My father-in-law is encouraging me to go for nursing, which he loves (he works in the OR). I just simply DO NOT want to be a bedside nurse, or have to deal with patients in a too personal manner. My father-in-law says thats no problem and that he just preps rooms for surgery and does minimal direct patient care. He also says that I would probably like working in the cath lab. I don't know. I don't want to hate my job, but with all the different types of nursing, I should fit in somewhere. Right?

Thanks
