You guys have given me a lot to think about. Thanks for the responses. What other medical jobs would be suitable for a single mom. My main problem is trying to find something that will pay enough for me and my daughter to live comfortably but I don't want to go into something that would make me lose my sanity.

Thanks everyone, this makes me feel a lot better

This is what I'm hoping will happen to me. I love babies and actually wanted to be a pediatrician growing up. I think the next best thing is a pediatric nurse. I gave up that dream 10 years ago after I graduated high school though so I'm hoping that part of me that wanted to help babies as a kid will resurface.

That didn't always dream of being a nurse. I'm considering going into nursing, but I have to admit I don't have a "passion" to be a nurse. I've always wanted to go into the healthcare field, but I know a lot of people say it's not worth it if you don't absolutely love being one. I do like helping people, and I definitely need the financial stability as a single parent. I'm just wondering if that's enough.
