Which path to take to nursing???

Hello everyone!

Hoping for a little advice! I'm enrolled at my local community college finishing up pre-reqs for the nursing program. Problem is, I don't know which one to take! Last year, I applied and was accepted to the ADN program. I ended up declining the position because my husband was deploying and I have 3 little ones to care for. Anyways, fast forward to now, I didn't make the deadline to apply to the same program this year (I moved back home while hubby was away). So, I applied to the LPN program. Still waiting to hear on that one.

Here's my dilemma. I want my BSN asap. There are several great RN-BSN programs in my area. If i get accepted to LPN, should I take it and work my way up? LPN would start this fall and end next summer. Then the bridge program starts the following summer, so I'd graduate with my ADN summer 2013. Or should I just apply for RN next year and finish my BSN pre-reqs while waiting (I have 6 classes left). Either way I'll graduate in 2013. I'm confident I'll get in to the RN program bc of the point count (this year's cutoff was 72, I have an 89). Which route would you take? I'm afraid if I do LPN, I won't have time to do the pre-reqs while in school for that, plus working and going back for RN seems like a lot! Thanks for any advice!!!
