opinions please

I had this posted in the LPN section but thought perhaps this would be a better place to gather info...
I'm currently attending PPCC... I have 3 classes left til I can apply... AP1 and 2 and micro... I'm in BIO now its pretty tough but I have a B so far in it... (hope to stay that way) Anyways with how things are now and waiting lists I was looking into other options.... which lead to my post below.... LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK


------------------
Okay I'm currently attending a local college for their ASN program..... I have 3 classes left til I can apply to get in
a&P I and II
Microbiology..... Reg classes cost 81.00 ph and nur 118 per credit hour...along with the reg fees, books etc...

It has a waiting list from anywhere from 1-2 yrs..... but during the wait you can knock off some of the other required nonnursing courses like patho etc...... anyways

I found a LPN program about a hour away 56 miles one way...... NO waiting and I'd be able to get right in I'm sure.
but it costs 18,600 (everything included books, tests etc)

Should I just stay on the course I am...... suck it up and wait orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
should I take a chance and commute and get into the LPN program?


PS) I did find other programs less expensive but they are 1 1/2 hours away. One was a total of 8,000..... thats about 10,000 less!!!! But I can't do that kind of commute..... the hour is gonna be longggggggggg enough!...
