You'll have to start looking online for programs in your area. If you find some that you meet the minimum requirements for, then call them and as if they think you have a chance.

In my area that offers accelerated officially requires only a 2.5 GPA. But the students accepted in recent years have 3.8 or higher and most students have A's in their nursing prereqs. You're not just trying to meet the minimum, you're competing against other applicants for a limited number of spots.

It sounds like you're at a pretty stressful point in your life right now. You may need to take a break to make sure that when you start nursing school you'll be successful. Good luck finding the right option for yourself.
