TITLE: Showing the alternating series $\sum_{n=1}^\infty (-1)^n \frac{n}{p_n}$ where $p_n$ is the $n$th prime converges
QUESTION [11 upvotes]: So what I want to prove is:

Proposition: 
  Let $p_n$ be the $n$th prime. Then the alternating series $$\sum_{n=1}^\infty (-1)^n \dfrac{n}{p_n}$$ converges.


Here's my (original) attempt. Could someone verify my proof is alright?

Lemma 1: If $a_n$ and $b_n$ are sequences and $\lim_{x\to \infty} \frac{a_n}{b_n} = 1$, then
$$\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n \text{ converges} \iff \sum_{n=1}^\infty b_n \text{ converges},$$
$$\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n \text{ diverges} \iff \sum_{n=1}^\infty b_n \text{ diverges}.$$
Proof: Follows directly from the limit comparison test.

Proof of Proposition: Note that by the Prime Number Theorem,
$$p_n \sim n \log(n),$$
that is, due to
$$\lim_{n\to \infty} \frac{p_n}{n \log(n)} =1.$$
Thus, by Lemma 1, 
$$\sum_{n=1}^\infty (-1)^n \dfrac{1}{\log (n)} \text{ converges} \implies \sum_{n=1}^\infty (-1)^n \dfrac{n}{p_n} \text{ converges}.$$
Now, the series $\sum_{n=1}^\infty (-1)^n \dfrac{1}{\log (n)}$ converges (as made clear by the alternating series test). As a result, our proposition is proven.

Note (Clément C.): As mentioned in the comments, this particular argument is faulty, since the "Lemma" used does not hold. (Specifically, it only holds for positive sequences (or negative sequences), but not those whose sign alternate.) A proof of convergence (or divergence) of the original series would be quite interesting.
Observe also that the alternating series test does not seem to apply here, as even with the Prime Number Theorem it is not obvious (and may be false) that the sequence $\left(\frac{n}{p_n}\right)_n$ is non-increasing. Moreover, it is not clear that the "usual" remedy for this (i.e., performing a Taylor series expansion of $\lvert a_n\rvert$ to get a constant number of terms which constitute, each by itself, non-increasing sequences; until a last term is reached which is the term of an absolutely convergent series) can be applied here, as such a series development appears to only give very slowly decreasing terms. (That is, reaching a term whose seriess absolutely convergent does not seem to happen within a constant number of terms).

Because the gap between two consecutive primes $n^{0.53}\geq g_n\geq 2$ for large $n$ ,and by PNT the average gap is $\ln n$.
Now one can show that if most of the gaps are away from $\ln n$ then the sum diverges, but if most of the gaps are around $\ln n$ then the sum converge.
Even if used the bound given by the famous R.H. we still get that $  \sqrt{n} \ln n \geq g_n \geq 2$ which does not help.
May be it could have a chance of being solved using Cramér's conjecture for the gap $O(\ln^2 n) \geq g_n \geq 2$ (i am not sure since its not solved).
