Although some of the general studies classes will count most of it will not and it would still take you at least 18 months if not the whole 2 years. Your job experience would not count toward any clinicals as they are very different jobs.

Kathi is correct. Nursing is a unique profession and your work experience was not as a nurse, so no it will not count under the requirements set forth by numerous professional agencies which credential the education programs and help set standards for the state boards of nursing to determine eligibility for licensure as an RN. And the Assoc. Degree programs are usually structured so that the courses are sequential and must be completed in 2 years and no less.
