College Nursing Programs

I am currently attending Ivy Tech Community College and about done with my pre-reqs. However I have little faith that I will get accepted into the program. These are my grades: Eng 111: A, Eng 112: A, Math: B, Psychology: B, Sociology: A, Interpersonal Comm: A, Life Skills: A, Chemistry: D (will take over again next spring), Anatomy 1: B or C (depending how I do on the final next week). My GPA is like a 3.1 or 3.2. I am taking Anatomy 2 in the Fall.
Since the nursing program is so competitive, I know I can either take over my pre req classes until I have A’s for all of them, or switch to a private school, or move to another state or switch to a different major, however I really want to be an RN. I guess I could live with being an LPN, but eventually I would still want to get my Ba in nursing. I just want to hear your thoughts about these options.

I also want to know your recommendations as far as accredited nursing schools in Indiana with low or no waiting list.

What are some other majors close to RN with same or almost same pre-requisites and decent pay when graduating? I’m 25 years old, have 2 children and I work Full Time nights. My financial life’s a struggle right now, I really can’t take years and years to finish my college.
