No. It is the other way around. If you buy an Adobe DRM ePub you can side-load it onto a Nook. In other words the Nook supports both B&N DRM and Adobe DRM for ePubs.
The good news is that Adobe and B&N and Kindle DRM can all be defeated. This is probably legal in the US providing you only do it for personal use (e.g. to read ebooks you bought on a different device). See Apprentice Alf's Blog for a summary of the state of play. Note that Kindle for PC is the best way for an ePub reader to get access to Kindle AZW (MOBI) ebooks. Once DRM-free you can format shift them via Calibre, and there is a Calibre plug in to strip the DRM from K4PC ebooks.
