Dating during Nursing school

Is it better not to date during nursing school?

There's no rule stating that you shouldn't date while in nursing school. Dating might take time away from studying, but you shouldn't be closed minded on the matter. I live with my boyfriend and I'm starting the nursing program in February.

you can date who ever you want,but keep in mind relationships if they don't work out can either end on good or bad terms...and when in nursing school whether you want to accept it or whether you can care less about some of your classmates or not the ppl in your class become like family ,since you're seeing them almost everyday ....

I would evaluate who your about to date personality,and emotionally/maturity level

if it weren't to work out is this person the type to go back and talk bad about you to other classmates(venting) or is this person mature to keep it friendly and mature...is this person the jealous type ?to when you start talking to other classmates they begin to get jealous..where as before it wasn't a big deal since you two were just friends....these are all things to think about iv seen this first hand when I was in nursing school and ultimately it ruined both parties made it awkward ..

and worst of all EVERYONE in class knew there business....

Nursing school is not some awful experience that consumes your life and leaves no time for relationships.

This!

I choose not to date because I like to focus on my goal and I know part of my goal is to move after graduation, so I'm not forming attachments here.

But people please do not think nursing school is the same as medical school. And in both you can and probably should have a social life.

That is cute. You think you will have time to date while in RN school. Lol

I'm married and during the semester I don't see my wife much.

Whatever you do let that someone know that you aren't going to have a lot of free time.

I don't think its good to date while in the program; however, people still do it either way. It just takes discipline, nothing more, nothing less.
