What 'o do?

Hey everyone! I have a situation. I am an LPN in an lpn-rn program. I was in the 2nd year taking two classes and due to not meeting a deadline I was dropped from one of the classes (only after 2 weeks of class starting). I was told I was still considered to be in the nursing program and just had to submit paperwork to retake the class once it was offered again. Well I found out the class I have to retake is not offered again for 9 months ( talk about a set back). The people that I was in class with will be working as RNs before I even start school again. I've been wanting to be a RN before I went to school to become an LPN so I am looking for the easiest/quickest resolution, but haven't been able to get advice from fellow friends. I am considering another lpn to rn program, even though I will still finish in the same amount of time if I stayed at this school, but the school doesn't graduate half of it's nursing students and the faculty's attitudes towards the students are horrible. Also considering excelsior. The set back I have with EC is that the CPNE has a waiting list, a lot of people who don't pass the CPNE the first time, and when I do go back for the BSN will they accept the credits at a traditional school. Anyone with advice or a good school near the metro Atlanta area?
