UVA's CNL Program

[cmt11985]

Hello, I am considering applying for the CNL program at UVA this fall (to start next spring, I'm currently working on my pre-reqs), but I'm not sure this is the best route for me. I'm curious about the program in regards to time committment; I'm aware that there are 1000 clinical hours on top of actual class hours. What about time spent just working on homework/papers? I'm also curious about how many group projects there tend to be. I graduated from UVA in another Master's program several years ago and it was FULL of group projects. That wasn't an issue back then, but now I have a family and trying to meet to do tons of group projects, on top of class and clinicals, isn't always a good fit when you have young kids. I understand the CNL program is focused a lot on the theories of nursing, does this naturally lend itself to a lot of paper-writing? I know these may seem like silly questions, but I am genuinely curious and trying to figure out if this is a program that is even worth applying for, as a mom of two young kids (the other option I am considering the the PVCC/ODU concurrent program, which is less demanding time-wise). Thanks so much for any help, and yes I will attend an information session at UVA :)
