Help! Lpn to rn or just rn????

Hello everyone! I graduated from high school in 2001 went to college for a year and decided to take a break from school. Well I breaked until 2007. I decided to start school and pursue a career in nursing. I finished all my prerequisites required for the BSN program, all I have left to complete is clinicals. I did a good job in school, with my overal GPA above the minimal requirements to get accepted into clinicals, not to mention I met all other requirements but one to be accepted into the clinical process. I did not pass the nursing entrance exam twice. The 1st time I missed it by 3 points and the second I missed it by 1 point. (Not to mention I studied hard for the test)The morning of the second test I had alot going on, my aunt's funeral was that day, I was running late because of that, and I just didn't think I was focused. So now I have to sit out of school one semester and apply again for the fall session, or I can go to the local technical college and get my LPN and then try again after a year of experience to get my RN. I can also start the LPN program and apply for the RN program while in the LPN program and if accepted start the RN program in January. I don't know what to do should i complete the LPN program and try later for the RN or should i start the LPN program and resign if I get accepted RN clinicals for this coming January. I need your help on what to do because I'm confused. HELP! HELP! HELP!
