X-Post - I Must Be Misunderstanding This Schedule?!?

I originally posted this on the student forum but am hoping some HFCC Students/Grads can help me clarify this



...ok so i'm prenursing right now (on "the list" ) but i'm moving out of my gparents house so i was looking ahead to make sure i will be able to handle working full time once im in the program

so i looked at the schools reccomended course of study and compared it with the schedule to get ideas of the amount of time ill be in class and this is what i came up with

one semester i will only hafta take 2 classes (NSG 150 and 155) which is a total of 10 credits, but each class is only half a semester. so i will only have lecture (for exp) on thursdays from 9:10 am - 12:00 pm and then 12 hours of clinical a week (which ive heard is usually all in one day) and thats basically how every semester seems; (about 4 hours of theory and 12 of clinical)

i finished all of my pre and corequisites already so all i will be taking are the nursing courses, but still this just seems like way less class time than i was expecting.. someone explain to me where i messed up (because i know i did somewhere) .... oh and i know about the TONS of homework, but still this doesnt seem like much time spent at school/clinicals

thanks so much


btw my school is Henry Ford Community in Detroit



If you go/went to HFCC can you tell me a lil about the schedule/classload/times etc. I'm trying to get a feel for how i will be able to work in the program to determine if i should move....
