I was told last year nursing student generally have the most amount of contact hours. All my nursing unit guides state your expected to do at least 6 or 7 hours each week reading and summarising topic material, writing out lab reports. Plus you need to spend additional time studying for quizzes and end of semester exams.
I only did half of first year nursing last year (2x nursing units & 2x foundation units) so I've obviously left out a lot of info here .
