I'm a freshman in college rn and I've been seeing everyone post having either like 2k hrs of research or clinical, along with like 1000 hrs of other stuff combined. I tried calculating my time and I genuinely don't think I could get 2k hrs of clinical/research even if I spent like 12 hrs in the lab every week?

Am I just bad at math or is there something i'm missing ;-; im v concerned for my app alr theres no way i can have that much hrs and still maintain grades esp given the grade deflation at my school...
