Hello everyone, I am a 40 yr. old man who's considering nursing, specifically the ER. I like a fast -paced environment and quick decision making. However, I hurt my back years ago(ligaments sprained). It's healed but more vulnerable than a never-injured back. I'm 5' 11" and 155 lbs and moderately strong. Although I'm physically active, I don't know if I could handle the physical demands of an ER nurse. What would you advise?
