What Does Swollen Lymph Node In Neck Indicate?

Hi, I have a swollen lymph node in my neck (an RN told me it was a lymph node). It is on the left side, in the posterior cervical area from what I can tell. I am worried it might be lymphoma since I can be a little paranoid. It is not tender or painful and it moves a little when you push it around. Help!
