Failed Nursing Program - I do not want to give up my dream!!!

I am not completely sure what I am asking here...maybe just for some thoughts. Back in 2012 I was dismissed from my BSN program due to 2 failures. I am one of many that I know that did not make it through and many of us are smart and exceptional students just for whatever reason I guess we did not have what it took for the program "at the time". I say "at the time" because I firmly believe under a few different circumstances and time that I would have passed no problem. But I did not I failed by less than .01. I needed a 74.5 and got a 74.4.

I have gone on to graduate with a Bachelors of Professional Studies in Health Services Administration. But I want to go back to nursing school so bad. Being a nurse and eventually FNP is all I ever wanted to do my whole entire life.

I am stuck at a crossroad between going back to for MBA and going back for nursing I would prefer the latter. Here in TN I do not think can return to nursing school for 5 years. When I failed and talked to my intstructor she pointed me in the direction of an LPN and suggested I just work my way back through school.

I did not do as she suggested and just went on to graduate with a bachelors so that all my schooling did not go to complete waste. But now I want to return. I feel like I would be backtracking though and for whatever reason that is coming to be a hard pill to swallow.

I know the first this people will say is I should just give up nursing all together since I failed and they do not want people correct only whatever % of the time but your argurment is invalid because if people would have given up when they failed this world would be a completely different place. We would not have the things we have today if people would have not kept trying until they got it right.

I think my question is, is there anyone that might know of people who have done this and been successful? Has anyone is TN gone back for an RN before the 5 years after failing? Should I wait until the 5 years are up and attend an accelerated BSN or should I go for my LPN now?

I just need some input I just ask that you stay as positive as possible PLEASE. We are all here for a reason and that is because we love nursing.
