Any nurses on here that could give advice or share their career story?

I really want to go back to school to get my RN then eventually my BSN, but I’m worried about getting an associates degree and not just going for the bachelors. I work in a restaurant and want to leave ASAP but there isn’t much I can do with a comparable salary. I absolutely HATE working in a restaurant but I do make good money 😓I have 88 credits in an art undergrad that I absolutely hated. I’m 25 and feel like I’m too old to try something completely new but at the same time I really really want to do it, I just don’t know the best way. I’ve worked in hospitals as a nurses aid as a teen and I loved it so much, and was so dumb to pursue an art degree lmao. I’m so out of the loop about where I should start
