NEED HELP- Trying to apply for Nursing school

So Im in my 4th year in college and needless to say have made a couple mistakes during my freshman/sophmore year. I spent the last two years working hard to bring up my GPA and finishing all my prerequisites to Nursing. Now that ive finished Ive spent the last year trying to apply to Nursing school. I was hoping to apply for the spring but when i did one school had me as a transient student and hadnt downloaded my transcripts in time for the deadline, the college that Im at now has a great Nursing program but they require Overall GPA simply require too high a GPA for me to apply, I tried applying to a private Nursing School and they require 50 hrs of residency before i Graduate from them which is a waste of money I think. Now im down to my last options and dont know what to do. SHould i just wait it out and try for the Fall (No program that i know have has a Summer start), Should i take classes to get my LPN then eventually get my RN? In the meantime I picked up a minor of Health Services Administration, but have no idea what to do or who to ask! Please Help!
