A calcified nodule in the lung often suggests a remnant of an old infection that happened years ago, sometimes a subclinical infection that you were not aware of. It usually does not need further testing but in certain cases depending on the size and shape it may be prudent to repeat another x-ray after several months to ensure that it has not enlarged (and thus making it unlikely to be a tumor). This calcified nodule should not affect your ability to work however.
All the best.
