Completely confused about nursing path

[OBplease]

I have no idea where I'm headed and when. I had planned to apply this application period which would have meant I would have started in summer or fall depending on the school. I did not apply though because I had two deaths in my family and withdrew from this semester's classes. I have spring and maybe a summer class or possibly two, if I really drag it out, to do and I'll be set for most any school I would care to apply to within an hour or so. I really only have one class left for my current school.

The problem is, if I continue on with the idea of my current school I have another 18 months before I start. I don't know now if I just want to do first year (LVN) or both (LVN-RN). I had planned to do both years, if I had started this summer but I have already been in requisite land for a year and half and if I don't start for another year and half and then it takes at least a year to have accomplished anything to be able to practice....not sure if I want to go into another year at that point or just wait until I practice a while. The other option is waiting til Fall after next and finishing RN at the same point as above. I could also start an LVN program at this same place a year from Jan. (the least dead time of all options) but it's a five day a week program and I'm not sure if this feasible with children.

My ideal jobs would be in postpartum, an OB office, or possibly an oncology office. After getting blown off my current path I don't know what I should be doing to get where I want. I just don't want to drag things out any longer than I have to. I had also thought maybe I should just do surgical tech. and try to get in with an OB dept. I know I would be happy for a while, I just don't know if it would last (I've had nursing in mind for 15 years). It's an AS program and I really only need the two semester's of clinicals after spring semester and I will have something to show for what I have been doing. I really just want to be getting somewhere already. All the nursing programs with a bi-annual start date are an hour and a half from me. There just aren't many good options.

Making all this harder is that I have a family to consider. I will be 31 this week and I would also like to have one last baby in the next few years. I know this is all over the place but there is really no one else that understands all the ins and outs of getting in to programs like these (or cares to listen) and can help me sort it out. I would love any suggestions. Thanks!
