I think if you've wanted to be a nurse in the past, then you should do it! I went through my entire ADN schooling as a single mom (toddler at the time). It was tough, but I survived. If I can do it...anyone can do it! Promise. I've instructed a few courses and I absolutely love teaching. However, you are correct, theh pay is not so great. BUT...have you thought about at least getting your Associate's Degree in Nursing and maybe becoming an adjunt nursing instructor? There is such a need for nursing instructors...and that might kind of give you the best of both worlds...nursing and teaching. I'm an advocate for education...being a teacher, I'm sure you can relate. I would go for it. No better time than the present. The faster you start, the faster you will be done!! Best of luck to you!
