Thanks so much for your supportive replies. After reading other people's experiences going to nursing school on this board, I see there are more options and paths than I originally realized. Your experience in particular resonates a lot with me, NomadMomma. I am lining up plans to work toward getting my BSN!

I'm a Junior year undergrad student in the process of changing both schools and majors. In the last year I have gone through a lot of growing up/recovering from past issues and am ready to start fresh with a new sense of motivation. My GPA right now is a 2.7/2.98 depending on how you measure it. I know that nursing is very competitive and that no matter what my GPA is going haunt me. But is it still possible to start working toward a BSN? If I had a 4.0 in my prereqs, and jumped through every hoop imaginable? I'm also considering majoring in Biology and then working on the Nursing degree after. I'm willing to try for any (reasonably good) program, even if it's in the middle of nowhere if it would mean a smaller applicant pool. Am I barking up the wrong tree? Any advice is appreciated.
