    If you can stay in school and get your RN, it will be worth it in the long run. An RN can make twice as much as an LPN and your work opportunities will be greater. Most hospitals will not even hire RNs. As an LPN you can certainly work in a nursing home or doctors office. To find good schools that offer nursing in New Jersey to to Collegeboard.com and do a college search. It will give you a list of the schools that meet your criteria. Good luck.
