My first time in LPN school things in my life were a bit complex and I failed out, I did go back to another LPN school and passed. Though to complete work that you've already successfully passed, thats a hard one. Personally I would go to a school that accepts my credits, but you have to ask yourself how badly you want this and if you really want to go to that school. Good luck in your decision.

Yup ... I would! It never hurts to refresh and solidify your nursing knowledge at any level. I recently went to a refresher course with my BFF because she hasn't passed her boards yet. I felt it was worth the $400 even though I already have my license. You would be surprised some of the details you forget.
Once we graduate we get into a specialty and forget most the other areas of nursing we had learned in school. Ask any ICU nurse what the immunization schedule is for peds, bet they have no clue! Why, because they haven't studied or practiced it for years, nor have they kept up to date with current recommendations. And why would they ... they don't work in peds!
Not to mention ... if RN or BSN/RN is your personal goal ... do whatever it takes to get there!
Good luck to you!

No way! I would do a LPN to RN bridge (which is what I am doing now as its only 11 months) and then roll into a BSN program.
