This has probably been asked many times, but I am new here so I am asking again ;-)
How many years of school do you need before you can take the NCLEX? Can I take it after I finish my associates degree?

The amount of time prior to being eligible to sit for NCLEX depends on the type and length of your specific program:

You will need to have graduated from a recognized (by the State BON) school of nursing in order to qualify to sit for NCLEX.
How many years that takes is up to you and your program requirements.
