Yes, most work is very unappealing. That's why it's called work.
If you're very fortunate you might be able to find something that you can stomach that pays well and treats you fairly. In my experience this tends to come down more to the employer than the field/job itself, but that's just my experience.
I just generally don't think recommendations from randos are worth much. Other people may disagree and value the opinions of others very highly.
I tend to agree that recommendations aren't all that helpful, but I don't think much else is either. I'm pretty sure nurse at least pays better than fast food wage slave though.

But very incorrect on this:
> really [nursing] seems like an entry level into the medical profession
Become a registered nurse is not an entry level job. It can be a job a person gets before they pursue a more advanced nursing career. You may be thinking of something like a CNA, which is much closer to "entry level":
I could certainly have picked my words a bit better - I was thinking more perhaps of nursing as an entry into a career rather than just as starting at the bottom of the medical food chain. I'm certainly aware that there are wage-slave jobs there too - orderlies, phlebotomists, CNAs, etc... My perception is also that 2 year degree nurses are seen as less than 4 year degreed nurses (and I mean fair enough, 2 more years of school ain't nothing).
I'd also note that my perspective is from talking to nurses who left that specific job and moved on to other cushier, but related jobs; I wouldn't really construe that as a ringing endorsement.
