As you do, you will be better able to afford the more expensive gear. Take a course in business at your local community college because photographers have to have the business acumen in order to be successful. You can be an excellent photographer, but unless you can market yourself properly & run the financial end of things, you are bound to fail.
Patients as well... it's a virtue. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Man who eats prunes, gets good run for money. A bird in the hand is safer than one overhead. Man who lives in glass house should change clothes in basement.
The problem resolves itself.

LOL remember I told you about the guy (picture below) who was cleaning the mirror in his camera with a tissue and his shirt. That was hilarious (BTW never do this, it's really, really dumb).
Moral: Having a DSLR a professional does NOT make.

Nursing is a great profession but as has been said it takes a certain type of person to do it well. I did it well for 30 years and believe me I would rather have been taking photographs most of the time rather than dealing with blood and bodily fluids. I love being a shooter- at least nobody dies if you make a mistake. That can happen if you work in nursing though.
