A lot more are aimed at engineering students; that's a bigger market than   
physics majors.

You don't put nurses and premeds in the same class normally.  Pre-meds are   
much stronger academically on the average.
Large colleges will offer a menu of courses.  At UMass we have one series for 
  physics majors, another for engineering and physical sciences majors, one 
for   biology/premed.  Also a one semester survey course, as well as several 
one   semester special topics courses -- energy, physics of music, physics 
for   speech and hearing therapy students, relativity.  We used to have a 
course   specifically for nurses until they dropped the requirement.
