Neither of those goals are particularly focuses on the self - they're about taking care of or encouraging others. Both are rather thankless positions. Who honestly wants to work with blood and urine and the ill or dying in the name of themselves?
It fills a place in their life. I don't know why Khaos does it, but let's say if was my father's father (my grandfather)- I know he would seek out such a job to discover what death really meant. My grandfather was rather obsessed with understanding death. So to be there amongst it would help him understand it. Come to terms with it. That would be his goal, he wouldn't particularly care about the people he was helping.
But another reason, one that is less about a fear of death, but rather filling a role in life that makes you feel better about yourself is a reason to pursue something like being a Nurse. You will almost always be able to find a job as a nurse, so financially it is beneficial.
A Jedi would seek only to be a nurse because they know it would help others, and are not looking for thank yous. A Sith may not have such noble reasons- though it's entirely possible they do. Like I said, I don't know why Khaos does it. You'd have to ask him. But I know that he's not Jedi, it's not in his being to be one.
