I need advice on school

I need some advice in what i should do now in school. Its kind of long and i have a couple of questions i need answered if someone can help me!

I have been doing nursing prereqs for my community college's rn associates program. I still have chem, a&p1 and a&p2 to take and then i can apply for the program in january 2013. I have recently thought of doing an lpn program through eastern suffolk boces which is an 11 month program and i can have my lpn in june 2013 and then i would go on for my bachelors. After getting my lpn, do i have to work first or can i go straight into getting my bsn which i would like to do online? And if i get my lpn, will i still have to go back and take prereqs for a bsn program or will they be covered in the lpn program? I feel like this would be the best way to get my foot in the door to being a nurse. I had my heart set on going straight for my rn but i feel like it will take too long. what should i do? I dont even have an associates in general studies, that was what else i was going to do. I was going to go for my assoc in general studies from penn state online school and then apply to a 4 year school for my bsn
