Unsure If I should really pursue nursing because I keep delaying myself.

Hello so basically I am in college taking my pre-requisites for nursing I am currently in my junior year. The situation is that in my freshman and sophomore year I have failed a class that had dropped my GPA bad. It was psychology and college algebra . I have taken over these classes but my GPA still hasn't changed much because I continue to do mediocre in other classes as well that are considered easier like Health and Human Development, Statistics and Abnormal Psych. My schools nursing program requirement is a 3.0 along with most other schools. My GPA currently sits at a 2.8. I was originally if everything had went as planned start the nursing program junior year in the fall semester but mostly because of my GPA that has not happened. I told myself this fall semester of my junior year I would work hard to get all A's in all my classes but that hasn't t happened and I ended with all C's and one B. Unfortunately getting a C in college algebra which was the class I was taking over. Surprisingly though I have done better in my science prerequisites getting B's and just one C. But I've realized that with me keep delaying myself I must not be serious about truly becoming a nurse. With this I'm not sure if this is a sign that maybe nursing isn't for me. If I can't keep my GPA at a 3.0 and I'm in my fall semester junior year who's to say I can get through nursing school? Tbh although nursing I think hasn't been a born passion I love to learn about it and find myself always watching videos about it and I am really interested in the profession and I can see myself changing the world patient my patient. But I am at a point where I'm honestly just unsure if I should maybe change my major to something different that accommodates my GPA and current work ethic. Maybe I could change my major to respiratory therapy or another field in healthcare because to stay in healthcare would be great. Could someone please give me advice?
