Its the ADN/ASN program itself is 2 years long(4-5 semesters) after all the pre reqs are taken care of and you are accepted.
Exactly. With pre-reqs, it can be more like 3 yrs total. All of nursing school is 2 yrs. Most students spend 1-2 semesters at school before nursing school even begins.

Okay, so I'm a freshman at a small college (around 2,400 students total) and I'm starting my 2nd semester on January 3rd. I'm going for an associates degree in Nursing. I'm supposedly doing my pre-req classes my first year (Fall 2012-Summer 2013) and then my nursing classes start Fall 2013. But since an associates degree is only a 2 year degree, how is it even possible to become a nurse with only ONE YEAR of nursing courses?!??! Because after I graduate, I'm taking the boards to become an RN. Someone please help me make sense of how all this is possible.
