Is it possible to finish an ADN in 2 years?

I've heard the quickest you can do it is in 2 and a half. I'd like to finish mine in 4 semesters (i can take summer classes, too) but I've heard this was mathematically impossible. is this true?

Can you imagine taking Microbio., A&P 2, and ANY nursing class at the same time? Wow.

I did it for three weeks and it nearly killed me. Literally. I was finishing up Micro, starting the nursing classes, and right in the middle of A&P. I was averaging 4 hours of sleep each night, and I ended up coming down with the flu, bronchitis and pneumonia. I've NEVER had pneumonia before, and I'm generally a very healthy person, so I can only guess it happened due to stress and sleep deprivation. I ended up going to the ED at one point because of a 104 fever.

Anyway, I wouldn't do that again if someone paid me (thankfully I won't have to - my coreqs are nearly done). Sixteen credits, that was.
