New nursing student here, hoping to learn about the best nursing specialties for people who want a very science oriented job. Could you please comment your thoughts, and if you currently work in one of these specialties, what your job duties are and how you got to this position. Thanks!

TL;Dr: My gut is telling me to wait because my current life is complicated. Should I wait until my life is much more simple and less stressful in order to optimize my success? It's March 8th and my first day of Quarter 1 is April 6th... unless I postpone to the fall where I will have to wait another whole 6 months. I've been on the wait list for just over a year, and I haven't done much with that time. I've done nothing to prepare myself mentally, haven't done any volunteer work, haven't built good habits or a general routine to life, and I have an awful sleep schedule. I am lucky in that when I start school I don't have to work. However, here's the kicker: My parents are going through a divorce, and it's gotten to a point where it's affecting everyone around them. I have to move back and forth between my moms and dads each week and it's a major inconvenience. Not to mention, just being around either of them makes me feel depressed, unfocused and unmotivated. My dad self medicates to cope with his depression and stress from the divorce, and he tries to hide everything which makes me feel worse. My mom copes by binging on food and purging it (she is bulimic). They both also go on long rants about each other to me whenever I'm at either of their houses and although it's easy to ignore them and let it go I think in some weird way the culmination of hearing all of their rants makes me severely distrust both of them and resent them for everything up to this point. In a nutshell, they are self destructing and it's hindering my ability to focus on the simplest of tasks. The point of all that ^: my parents are a huge distraction and a major source of stress in my life. I can either start my ADN in April while I still have to see them, still have to move back and forth between their houses, and still have to live in 2 depressing houses (for lack of a better explanation), OR.. I can wait until September when I will have my own place free of distractions. I can also use that extra 6 months or so to develop some good habits such as stress management, waking up early, and just general life improvements. What should I do? ?
