LPN if not RN

Just wondering how many ppl are thinking of going the LPN route if they are not able to get into the RN for any number of reasons (waiting list, grades, etc)

Since this semester is closing in on me and I'm comming close to my application deadline, I'm sorta worried that I won't get into the RN program. So far I've been told I can get a C in A&P II and still have the GPA needed to get in but I'm still worried. Last semester was the first semester they had to turn ppl away (only tured 4 away) and they're thinking this year is going to be more the same.

I'm just not sure if I should think about LPN and then do an RN bridge if I don't get in on the first try. Part of the reasoning of this is because we are planning on moving after 2 years and don't want to wait until the winter (when I might be done with the program if I don't get in on the first try) to move.

UGH! I hate this feeling. (oh and if I go LPN, I would have to take the NLN for that as well)

If I hadn't been accepted for the upcoming semester, going the LPN route was my plan B. The idea of losing close to an entire year at the very least, and the momentum to just waiting, was discouraging and a waste of valuable time.
