I wish I could start the LVN and switch over to RN in spring if accepted but the school won't let you do that. Yes still an alternate for fall RN.

Need some advice. I am 59 applied to the RN and LVN programs at a junior college nearby. I was accepted into the LVN program starting this fall and made alternate for the RN program which is the program I really wanted. I just finished up all the classes that could be taken while you are in RN school so being that it is points driven I now have roughly 136 pts. out of a maximum of 150. 36 of those points weren't on my transcript when I applied for fall. The school advisor suggested that I reapply for the spring semester RN class since I have more points and decline the LVN program. I would have to do 1 year LVN program, then a 18 month bridge program for RN if I go through with the LVN. The RN program is a 2 year program. So I guess this is what I am asking. At my age do I take the sure bet on the LVN program and spend basically 3 1/2 years to get to RN or do I gamble on getting into the RN program starting Spring and get done in 2 years.
