I am currently enrolled in the first year of the mohawk/mcmaster BScN program! First semester I ended up having mondays and fridays off, with Tuesday to Thursday being jam packed, which sounds pretty easy but there is quite a bit of work. I was able to work up to 20 hours a week, which was pretty hard with all the homework they throw at you. The courses, such as the clinical `hands on` course where you learn your basic physical assessments is very good. The anatomy and physiology course is challenging but also interesting. The one problem I have with the program though, is the PBL (problem based learning) class. It is painfully boring, where you sit with a small group of students and a `facilitator` and talk about health care issues that can just about put anyone to sleep. Its a 4 hour class where you are expected to come prepared to present information that you have researched on the health care issue and discuss it with the class. In other words, its a 4 hour class of awkward silences, boredom, where you over analyze everything. Some people seem to enjoy the class, whereas most feel the same way as I do. I guess it is just the type of person you are! Anyways, aside from that one class the program is very good and I hope you get into it in september!
