Nursing Programs-3.2-3.5 gpa?

<p>I have about 2 years till I complete all my G.E's to transfer out to the schools i'm applying to-at this point the highest GPA I can get is 3.54 (I got 2 C's my first semester of college) I've been researching schools, and looking at the stats and i'm extremely worried I wont get accepted into at least 1, (i'm applying to about 10 schools) and i'm worried that my only option will be some private school with a high acceptance rate-i.e OKC university- and as a final resort changing majors.
I would like to hear some people who had a relatively 'average' gpa and what schools you got into, and what was the process like for you, how you 'stood out' perhaps what you did extra besides volunteering etc, any information and advice is really welcome!</p>

<p>Also if anybody can list a couple schools with nursing programs that have decent acceptance rates that'd be so amazing!</p>
