Dental School or Nursing? What should this unemployed single mother choose?

I am 26 years old I have both a Bachelor & Master Degree in Social Work. Since graduating in May of this year I remain unemployed. I am passionate about health care and have enjoyed internship experiences in rehabilitation, oncology, geriatric care management, & pallitative care settings. I love the hospital setting and the "clinical" aspects of medicine but am also passionate about patient rights, health literacy, & health care access for the underinsured, uninsured, poor, & disenfranchised. Denistry is another path that I am considering as it would provide a good living, opportunity for private practice, & a chance to do outreach & education in under-recognized areas (i.e. dental pain of children, health issues caused by poor dental hygeine, etc.).
I have a 7 year old daughter that I single parenting & currently not receiving any child support for.
I want a stable career that will enable me to both pursue my passions and provide a comfortable lifestyle for my family. However, I wonder if it would be wise to invest 6 years or more (2 completing pre-reqs, 4 of dental school) to pursue a career in denistry when my financial needs are great. Especially considering that I could complete an associate degree in nursing & become an RN in two years, work & complete a RN to BSN to MSN online & become a nurse pratitioner while gaining experience & earning a decent living.

I am seeing insight & advice especially from single parents in similar situations, those who have pursued advanced degrees as a single parent, or children of single parents who obtained professional degrees while raising them.
Thanks in advance! I look forward to reading the replies!
