Still there are many different nursing situations, that might appeal to you. Maternity ward, neonatal care, surgery, etc.

One of the huge growth industries is "geriatric care".

There is an old book entitled What Color is my Parachute? It is a book designed to help you search out what type of career would appeal to you.

If you haven't done something like this, it would be an interesting exercise for you.
I'm going to have to give that a try wonder if it's available for the Kindle
