I need advice!! I'm so confused! (pre-nursing student)?

Question

My problem is that I'm working on my RN degree (AA). I finished all of my pre reqs, and I have a 3.73 GPA. The community college that I attend uses a point system to determine who gets into the nursing program. You get 1 extra point if you apply and got turned downed (which I did) and you get 1 extra point for taking Microbiology and the Lab. I did the Microbiology class but didn't take the Lab so I won't get that point. 
It's pretty competitive to get in, there are only 40 seats offered every semester. I applied for August but got denided, and I was hoping to get in for January but I didn't realize to get the extra point for microbiology that I had to have the lab finished also. So most likely I won't get in until August 09'. 
My problem is I don't know what to do. Should I get my LPN licence while I wait, should I work on my general transfer credits? (I eventual want to get my masters). Should I just get a regular full time job and wait to get in the RN program?

I would say get the LPN license or do general transfer credits. It would be better to stay in school to keep material fresh in your mind and to stay in the studying mentality. Also, I would suggest interacting with the professors who teach the nursing program. If they know you, they may be more inclined to grant you admission.

Take microbiology with lab or an advanced course in histology. Take classes and maybe work part-time while you wait. You might even consider applying to several other nursing schools.

Try to get the legal formalities settled first. Meanwhile, if possible, try gaining some experience as well..
