It's pretty tricky but it can be done. I met somebody almost at the end of my second year. It worked out because he was pursing his own thing at University and was pretty dedicated to it. The first few weeks we usually only saw each other once a week. I think you just have to find somebody who is understanding and has their own things to do so that they don't make you feel guilty.

Trying to meet lots of potential partners is a huge waste of time. Take it as it comes.

My fiance and I started dating before I started nursing school so far everything have worked out just fine. He is very loving and supportive of me. We are also getting married In April, right after I start medsurg ! I know it sounds crazy but we love each other and can make it through anything with the help of GOD

I got super lucky. My boyfriend is an LPN and is totally understanding about school because he's in school too. Finding the time to see each other can be difficult for some but even those who are married don't get as much time with their SO's as they did before!

If you want a male's perspective...
Nursing school wiped out every dating relationship I had. It was pretty rough. But I understand that people not going through nursing school have no clue about the time commitment, so I understood why the girls I dated found other guys. As far as dating a classmate, I had a few fellow students interested in me, but for all the wrong reasons. So my advice is to get used to being single.

LOL ! Getting married in APril yeah right ! After I realized I scheduled my wedding on a clinical day when I though it was the beggining of spring break I quickly changed my mind and pushed the wedding back to Aug. Well atleast in August I'll be a LPN !!! and a wife. Can't wait !

If you are already in an established and serious relationship then it might not be as bad as if you were in a relationship that you are 'trying to get up off the ground'. I had the later and nursing school has definitely put a strain on things. With clinicals, studying, and just being tired in general, I honestly didn't have a lot of time for dating. My motto is work first, play later. If he's a good guy and understands how ambitious you are then he will most likely be understanding. If not, he's honestly not even worth it then.

Interesting. My boyfriend is pretty supportive and definitely has his own things going on. In addition to working full-time..he's a DJ on the side..and involved in his church. I've had a pretty full schedule before nursing school. But, now that I"ll be entering in the fall (I'm taking pre-reqs now and will be all summer..while working)..it's going to be even harder. But, I'm determined to make time for him and our relationship. If all we can do is spend 1 day (a couple of hours) a week..then so be it!

Because these next 2 years will go fast and then it will be ON!
