Most ADN-RN programs require pre requisite classes including but not limited to A&P, microbiology, statistics, english composition, intro to psychology, intro to sociology and developmental psychology.
A few programs allow you to do pre reqs alongside nursing classes, but this isnt typical.
Generally your pre reqs can be completed in 2 semesters allowing you to be through with your ADN in 3 years

it is taking me 3 years because of pre-reqs. But I also had a bunch that transferred from my bachelors so that is atypical for my program
you'll have to check out the shcools in your area for more info on specifics
