I went back to nursing school at age 44 after years in HR and then as a vocational counselor. I can fully understand your not wanting to be a flight attendant to travel. (I always said I would never want to be a flight attendant because you're stuck in that plane with what sometimes seems to be a lot of idiots.) However, if you don't like your job because of the personal contact/helping role, you won't like nursing. I will tell you, too, I have worked my way through undergrad and grad degrees, but the 16 months I spent in nursing school were hell; because I was also working full time. That said, I got through it and it was the best decision I ever made. I never, ever have to worr about having a job. As far as micro-managing, nursing is really quite independent, but, in a facility, you usually have back up. Good Luck. You can do it.

Why don't you work as a tech at a hospital, rather than just volunteering? And, not that you have to disclose it, but do you have a history that might make you less attractive as an employee? Finally, you don't capitalize your I's in your sentences, so maybe someone could help you with applications/grammar? I'm not being mean, but since you're asking for help, I want to give you some honest feedback that might help you.
