Thanks to everyone for their advice. I can see how an outsider without a definate passion for this could rub you the wrong way, but I appreciate everyone helping me, nonetheless.

Hello, everyone. I've been here the past month trying to read some posts and asked a couple of questions. But I figure the best way to get some of the fine wisdom you all possess is to just briefly describe my would-be intentions in this career field and get your thoughts on what area I would be best suited to pursue. From what I've read, nursing in general is a fairly "hands on' job. There seems to be a fundamental aspect of drawing blood, giving shots, that sort of thing. I am more interested, however, for neurotic reasons or not, in a more removed role. I see case manager jobs, but other than that, is there a sub field within nursing that is more routine, and simple? Something that is of less responsibility/contact to the patient? Well, I guess I didn't need that long intro, when all I'm basically asking is what you would recommend for someone who would like a more removed role. Maybe something in holistics or a less physical atmosphere. I don't know how to give an example other than what I've described. Anyway, I appreciate any thoughts you have in steering me towards something like this. Or maybe there is no such thing. Thank you.

Thanks a lot. I learned a lot more from that message than I do looking at vague descriptions I can find elsewhere. I appreciate that. I'd like to know more about all this so I can decide if I'd like to try it. I understand if you're busy, but I had a few more questions. Do you personally talk with the admits? Or do you mainly go over their documents instead? What's your favorite part and least favorite part? And what is the thing you do most often?

Would anyone like to share what a typical work day is like for them as a case manager? I'd appreciate it in trying to figure out if it would be right for me. It seems like the best way to learn about something is to ask the people who spend their lives doing it, so that's why I'm here. Thanks in advance to anyone who reads this.
