Nursing/ midwifery study advise please

Hi all,

I need your help with making a decision.
Im currently enrolled at uni to study midwifery. Due to personal matters I had to stop during the first year of study.
Im due to come back next year but the uni I'm currently on is too far away from home and it's becoming impossible for me to attend. I've applied to transfer to a closer one but I'm thinking of doing another career path..
Im thinking I could go to Tafe and study enrolled nursing to then progress to uni and do nursing/ midwifery while I'm already on the workforce.. I
Don't really love nursing but I'm thinking it
Will bring an income to the family while I'm getting to where I want to be..
has anyone done this? Is it too Much? Is it a waste of time?
I do have 3 kids and almost 35 so I don't want to waste a lot of time..
thanks
