Go for SLP. My story... I was a ComDis student in undergrad. I actually started my SLP grad school but had to drop due to family and financial issues. I ended up completing an accelerated BSN program. I've been working as a nurse and really dislike it. People say there's money in this field but you have to work your ass off to make that money. Patients are very disrespectful and can be very mean to you, almost making you second guess yourself. Maybe it's where I work but I know nursing is not for me. Also it's very difficult to obtain a job as a new graduate. But once you land your first year of experience, it gets better in terms of job market. My best friend continued her SLP in LIU and she had job offers lining up for her while she was completing her CCC. I am now applying to NOVA to complete my SLP degree. I hope and pray that I get in. You have to really make sure nursing and SLP is really what you want. I believe it's best to shadow each field and go from there. There are some online SLP programs that will accommodate your life schedule. Also if you do end up choosing nursing, complete the accelerated track since you already have a degree. I completed it in 12months. It's tough but doable. Best of luck
