I'm about to graduate from an ADN program. It is 5 semesters of actual nursing courses. We only have a full time option for all of the nursing programs at our school.
We just started a 3 semester LPN program as well.

Depends where you go. Here where I live community college nursing programs are 4 semesters (2 years). That does not include pre-reqs which are different for each student, because some take part time while others go full time then there are pre-reqs to those required course that people have to take. In the universities its a 4 year program. You do pre-reqs with the nursing program. I just got accepted to the ADN program at a community college near me. Took me 5 years to do pre-preqs because I went either 1/4 time or 1/2 time with some semesters off. I have 5 kids, so I took my time. But the RN programs here do not offer part time or night RN programs. I wish they did though :)

I had to complete 10 prerequisite classes and my ADN program is 5 semesters long. I plan on doing my RN-BSN online, which will be 3 semesters.

My track in a grad entry MSN program is 2.5 years start to finish. All grad entry students have the first year together, take the NCLEX, and then we go onto our specific MS focus which is 1.5-2 years.
