Need Advice...lost on what I should do

[notsure2013]

So I'm 3 classes away from an associates degree in nursing. The issue is I've been out of school/job for almost a year now. Everything that was so fresh is not so fresh anymore, and hence the confidence has fleeted. Until last January I was working ( for about 2 yrs) as a PCT along with being a fulltime student. I was doing very well but I got ridiculously sick and left both school and work to work fulltime on recovering and entertaining a dream that should have never been taken to light (because its done nothing but hurt me...long story. Guess it was Gods way of teaching me sometimes the things we think we want are the last things we need).

Well, I've recovered but I seem at times to be a shell of my former self when it comes to the confidence I can get through it (strange, I was near the top of the class before). It's disheartening, I tried to come back to take the classes last semester but my motivation and confidence were not there and I dropped out. I wasn't raised to be a quitter but I almost feel like if I was to pursue nursing I'd need to start from the beginning again at a different school. Another part of me says I should pursue another career in healthcare. I've been entertaining getting a bachelors in pre health and pursuing physical therapy or PA. I just don't know. I have a BA in English but my overall gpa I think was a 2.5 or so, nothing special.

The only work experience I have is about 3 months in long term care facility as a STNA and 2 years as a PCT in an ICU. Is pursuing PA school with this kind of experience just wishful thinking? Like I said, I was 3 classes away, plus precepting, but its been 11 months away from healthcare, with a few pitiful attempts at studying that more or less just left me more disheartened at the position I find myself in.

What would you do? What is your opinion on PA or physical therapy with the experience I have? I have to do something...have to. Been searching for jobs out of healthcare and have found nothing. Helping people directly has been the only thing that has brought me the feeling that I'm contributing and making a difference. Unemployment is tearing me apart inside...lol pitiful, but its the truth, any and all advice is appreciated. I need to know my realistic options.
