nursing and scoliosis

Im thinking about being a CNA while going to school to get an associates degree in nursing. Well I also have mild scoliosis. My back sometimes hurts if I bend over too long and if I stand for long periods of time. I really want to be a nurse, is there any field or specialty that I can go into that wont make by back hurt?
CNA's have the highest rate of back related injuries in the health care industry. Although many people with back problems go into nursing, and some of those will encourage you to do ahead and do it, I personally don't think it's a good idea, because at first it's going to be difficult to find a job where you aren't on your feet for 8 to 12 hours a day. The fields where one isn't working so hard are usually reserved for those with experience, but getting that experience might cause you pain and injury.
