What can I do?Please Help me!?

I am in big trouble with my working life.I used to work as a male nurse and all in all I like it.At least i tryed to do it as well as I could.But I soon realized that it was too much for me.I mean i really couldn't cope with all that sufference and pain every day.It was too upsetting.So I gave it up but ever since it seems I can't find another job.Here in Italy there a lack of nurses and I could easily find another position but I would prefer not.What else can i apply for?
