Do NOT get a nursing license if you want to be a doctor. There is no overlap between nursing classes and premed requirements. And it will negatively impact you during medical school interviews. All of the reasons you listed for why you want to be a doctor can be accomplished as a nurse, so they will have no reason to accept you.
That being said, you can have time for a family and being a doctor; plenty of doctors do it. Not all doctors work ridiculously long hours (private practice, plastic surgeons, etc). Go find a doctor that has a kid and ask them how they balanced their life.

i decided to go to pharmacy school instead!

pick children and you’ll NEVER be a doctor.
pick doctor and you’ll be a mother when you’re 39.
make your choice.
