Have you ever considered working in hospital IT? The past will be way lower, but you would spend a lot of time interacting with nurses (and whoever else is doing chat updates /data entry in a given facility).

To echo another commenter, nursing as a profession is noble but brutal. My cousin has what is considered a "cushy" nursing job working in pediatric oncology. He has stable hours, gets to work long term with a small set of patients and get to know them, and his work is less dangerous than many other specialities, but the work is emotionally devastating.

Autocorrect error: Second sentence should start "The pay will be way lower"
