HELP! LPN??

Hi, I completed one year in the RN program, however, I failed a course in Dec 2008. I tried to re-do the course in Jan 2009 semester but they only allow 32 students and there was no room so I waited for this september 2009 spot. I recently got the news that there is no space to re-do that course in september 2009 either, so basically I would have waited a year if I continue to wait for January 2010 semester to redo the course in RN program.

So, I started to think of my options. I applied for the LPN program at a community college in my town. I figured I would do the 12month LPN course and then work for a bit and get my own place and then do the LPn-access program later on to become a RN. I was wondering if this is the right way to go or just keep waiting for the RN program spot to re-do that one course. My friend ahead of me has failed a course and she has been waiting a year and half and there is no guarantee as of when there would be a spot to re-do that course, and I am afraid to just keep waiting and waiting and not get anywhere. Please let me know what you think! Thanks alot!
