I want to be a nurse. I just don't know what route I should take. Someone help!!!!

I’m 17 and I live in New Hampshire, and I currently work as a dietary aide for a retirement home (started working there in culinary because I was promised a job as an LNA, and they did not follow through). I'm low income and I may be able to get into Saint Anselm for free because of their NH program. They have a great nursing program so honestly I feel pretty good about that. But I have sooooo many questions. Should I do an accelerated course at a community college instead? Do I try to get my masters to be a CRNA? (maybe not with the BBB passing R.I.P. grad school) Do I be a PA? Should I do something else that I haven't thought of yet? I know I'm young and I still have time, but I want to be prepared so I can be as well off as possible.
