Hello I am interested in the field of nursing. However I am concerned about the strain it may have on my back. When I was 14 (I am now 26) I had rods put into my spine for scoliosis. I usually do not have any problems with my back. I have my BS in Biology and I had also looked into dental hygiene/dental assisting but have heard from many people that they are now having major back and wrist problems. My question is should I een pursue nursing if after a few years I wont be able to do it anymore because of my back? Also, what specialty in nursing would not require much lifting (I am 5 ft 2 110 lbs)? Thank You PS- This site seems to be rally helpful and full of great info :)
