In Grade 12 right now, going to a nursing school in Canada. On the side, I've been working very hard on my mission and have made great strides towards eventually being able to turn it into full-time career. In addition to that I've been lifting hard since discovering TRP in January.

My concern is if I'll have the free time to continue working hard on my mission and lifting in addition to school. It'd also be nice to be able to go out once on the weekend to build social skills, have fun and get with some girls. The last point however is the lowest priority, I'm not worried about it as much as the other two.

I'm scheduled to have seven courses in my first semester(this is out of my control). This includes five nursing classes, anatomy and physiology and an English class.

I'm trying to figure out if I can complete the English class online either this summer or the next so that I only have six, but I have no idea how that will go. Second semester is scheduled to have six courses, though I'm thinking I should be able to do one of the courses(a chosen elective) in the summer.

After that, we have the regular five course schedule for the remaining semesters.

The school website says that class time and practice hours are scheduled for a max of 25 hours per week. They say that students are expected to study for at least 3-4 hours per day in addition to that. Assuming max class time and 4 hours per day, I'd have 53 hours spent with school every week. That's not terrible, but I'm worried that this estimate might be a little bit conservative.

Does anyone have experience with nursing school and the free time you end up with? I'd love to be able to spend say 10 hours a week on my mission and 4 hours lifting.
