Most classes usually average 3hrs with lecture+lab classes averaging 4 hours. If you take at least 6 hours of classes, you are going part time and 12 hours nets you full time. Most people aim for 15 hrs a semester in order to get a basic associates degree in two years (Usually 60hrs). Obviously, there are many variables. If you are a biology major, for example, you will need to take several more classes for your degree. This may mean going up to 18hrs a semester or more simply taking summer classes as well. Maybe you are in a workforce program for an applied science degree. This can range from 50-70hrs for the associates. Simply put, four classes a semester is full time but most people aim for five or six classes a semester to finish their degree on time.

I assume you mean nurse midwifery. That person would be a nurse midwife. She would have a masters and her level of training would be similar to a nurse practitioner, but her specialty in obstetrics, women's health, newborns, etc. She can do prenatal care, attend women in labor, and do postnatal care in addition to well woman care (like PAP smears and physicals), and some primary care (like when a patient is sick). She has the training and authority to write prescriptions.
I work at a childbirth center under midwives and one of them owns the center.

Being a midwife. Helping women get through their labor and delivery. You do what an obstetrician does.

You will become a midwife. This is a person who helps women have babies naturally (ie no doctors involved).
