She says it will take 2yrs and she can get an ADN.
Honestly...she is wasting her time going this route. Many hospitals nationwide are only hiring new grads with their BSNs and/or they are making their current nurses with only an ADN or Diploma go back to school and get their BSN or they lose their job. She will seriously limit herself to the nursing jobs she can find if she goes the ADN route now. 10 years ago I would have said differently. But the current trend is BSN or go home.

I had a bachelors in kines then went back to get my ADN. No problems getting a job at all. If the hospital wants you to have a bsn, most pay you to take the few classes you are missing online. The hospitals need a certain % of bsn grads but this is mostly for management roles, don't let the ADN deal freak you out.
It also may have helped that I had a previous bachelors of science. But a couple of my other buddies had zero education, got their ADN and both got ICU jobs last year. Again, don't let the bsn chatter stop you.

That just seems racist

This is just a wee bit of an exaggeration. Plenty of new hires in NOLA coming form the ADN route. I know several within the last year, of which some have already gotten raises.

This is common with big hospitals in major medical communities. This is not the case in small hospitals and especially not the case in most clinics.
