I guess what the nurse told you is true if s/he says it is, but I have a hard time understanding how anyone could go through neck radiation and be ready to work again a couple of weeks later. Man! It took me a good 4 months, and that was to part time. I suppose it could be that RT to other parts of the body is less taxing, but I wouldn't presume even that.
Please keep us posted.
