AHHHH!! 😭Someone anyone make the decision for me I CANT I just can't I tried for a too long 😩😩😩 I love both nursing and occupational therapy but my heart has always been in occupational therapy, it's my dream career. Nursing-RN Qcc only 8 classes left still 1 1/2 years 3-11 5 days week then 1 1/2 more for the bachelors in nursing(BSN required to be a nurse now these days) OR Occupational therapy assistant 2 years, only 2-3 classes a semester (bc my bachelors degree) then 1 year of full time work then 2 year ONLINE program to get the masters in occupational therapy and can have a life and a family in the meantime whenever if I do the assistant program OR straight into the Masters of occupational therapy program (my dream career 🙏🏼) 1 1/2 years driving an hour and a half away in Springfield Mon-thurs 630 to 5 can't have a family until 2021 when I'm 30...anyyyy input is fine if not I'll drive myself crazy again with the 1000th pros and cons lists. I use to much emotion because I'm so passionate about helping people as both a nurse and OT im not using enough logic 🤷🏼♀️

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
In all honesty I think you should go the latter route. If you know OT is your passion, you should definitely be doing what will make you happy! Family can wait. I know it's hard, trust me, I already have BA and would loveeee to start a family now, but know my family will be better off if I wait until after my bachelor's degree.
Nursing is a very difficult occupation. I respect nurses highly, but it is constant high stress, it's hard on your body and your emotions. Just keep that in mind.

I think you should go with your heart. If occupational therapy is your dream job, then go for it. Life is real short, be happy. :)
