Need advice on becoming RN

I am currently an MT who made $300 last week typing my butt off.  I am seriously thinking about going to school to become an RN.   My cousin got a job right out of school making $18/hr.  As much as I love this job, I am tired of typing for peanuts.  This company I am working for hired me 2 years ago and started me at 7.5 cpl.  They just told me they would raise me to .08 cpl in 6 weeks if my accounts are all maintained within TAT.  Thanks for the $20 more in my paycheck.  That'll pay for dinner at Burger King.  Enough of my griping.  I just need to get different opinions on this.  I understand it can take a litte longer getting into the actual program after your prerequisites are done, but my sister is going through our local community college and said I should do my LPN first, work until I get into the RN program.  I really do not want to go through 10 months of schooling for one license and then have to do more later on.  I'd rather go straight for my RN license.  Do I have a better chance of getting into the RN program if I was to be an LPN?  I would like to hear as many opinions and advice on this as possible. 


Thanks!
