Most communities and health districts offer some form of health advice line for patients to call if they have a health situation and aren’t sure what to do. Nurses are the healthcare professionals who answer those calls and provide the advice. A position like this means that you’d be off your feet and wouldn’t be engaged in any physical work. However, you’d be typing on a computer keyboard a good portion of the time, so if your joint pain is in your wrists and fingers, this might not be for you.
