I just want to hear from you if what is your opinion about CI-SN relationship? if you have any story or experience, feel free to share it.

Since the OP didn't elaborate, difficult to know what we're talking about here. As far as students and instructors dating, during my non nursing undergrad it was commonplace. I even had one professor (English dept) who dated TWO DIFFERENT GUYS with whom I was involved (not at the same time, but still, it was weird. It was 20,000 + student campus). One of my profs married his student. Students and profs dated while the student was in the profs class.

In nursing, I simply cannot IMAGINE that happening. Nursing school is like a wholly different animal than "regular" college. There is an expectation of role modeling and holding oneself to a higher standard and all of that. There also seems to be more personal distancing from students. This is just my assessment from what I've seen. I'm not making any judgments on any of it, more just observations.
