Hello all! I am new the the forum. I apologize if this is the wrong place to post a topic such as this.
First, some background. Me and my girlfriend are both 20, and we are both full time students in college. She is going into nursing, and I am going for a bachelor in exercise science.
She will be starting the nursing program in January 2016. I have been researching what being a nurse entails, and what it takes to get through nursing school. I've read about how stressful it is, how hard the long, emotionally taxing shifts are, and how time consuming the nursing program is. Before I go any further, let me just say that you guys are amazing. I simply don't believe I would have the strength to do what you guys do. God bless all of you.
Okay, moving on... The reason I came hear is because I want to support her to the absolute best of my abilities. The problem is, I have no understanding of what nursing school is truly like. Sure, I've read a few blog posts about it, but so what? What I would like from you preferably experienced female nurses, is some advice on what I, as her boyfriend, can do to help her get through what sounds like a very hard challenge.
What is it like?
What kind of stresses will she be going through?
What, if anything, can I do to relieve those stresses, even if only a little?
Obviously since I am not in the nursing profession, I lack perspective on what it's truly like. Is there any way I can get a hint of understanding? Of the program, and of nursing in general?
An optional second question: I hear that nursing is an extremely high-stress job. What with the enormous responsibility that comes with essentially holding someone's life in your hands, and the attachment that comes with caring fro your patients. Combined with long hours, large workloads, etc. If it turns out that God has in His plans for us to get married, what can I do to support and help her through these aspects of her career?
I totally agree. Had he deleted all the references to his obvious dislike of the "female" it could have been a helpful post.
No. Still not helpful. He started by calling everyone else mentally ill. I started to think maybe the OP created a different account and out of anger lashed out at us through the new account. We may never know. But that's my theory.

Perhaps a sufferer of Online Dissociative Personality Disorder?
it's funny how you SICK CLOWNS, jumped at the chance (and failed attempt) at redirecting your severe flaws and faults, onto me...the person who exposed them, and had the GUTS to stand up and speak the truth about them, and had the guts to stand up to youre BULLYING of the Original Poster. I find it LAUGHABLE lol. While at the same time im embarrassed and sad for you all (the ones who called themselves verbally attacking and downing me, are who im referring to).
- TYPICAL behavior of victimizers. Its the exact same type of tactics that Cheaters and abusers use on their victims. They victimize and mistreat their victim(s) and then use weak mind games to attempt to have that VICTIM, thinking that HE/ SHE is the one who's at fault and flawed, for 1-having a PROBLEM with being mistreated, abused, victimized etc. 2- for actually having the audcaity to speak up against it (sarcasm) 2- and even at fault for the whole thing happening in general.
Ie- you'll have cheaters these days, flipping it around on their mate, calling and labling their mate as "insecure", "jealous" and says "you dont trust me!", meanwhile....they're constantly flirting, constantly staring at and lusting after other people, you find phone numbers, text messages, voicmails, internet messages, etc..from other people, along with continued, infinite list of additional UNTRUSTWORTHY, CHEATING behaves and actions that you SHOULD feel "insecure", "jealous", and "not trust" them about. You CLOWNS attempted the very same thing with me lol. And understand this...all that goofy "female petty'ness" that you females engage in with other women, it doesnt work on a REAL man. And i will not be bullied. The original poster may let yall do it, but not with me...sorry lol.
and another thing i find HORRIBLE and sad, is how so many Associetes, bachelors, and Masters degree level professionals on here, revealed how "CATTY", VICTIMIZNING/ BULLYING...and down right unintelligent, they were. But they again, that's just a prime example of why I always say.....just because someone went to college, had the ability and circumstances that allowed them to- go to college,, had the ability to STUDY and retain information long enough to pass tests on it, and etc.........does not mean they're intelligent, have the ability to think logically, rationally, OR critically.
Then you CLOWNS had the audacity to try to say I was crazy.
Again, sorry...those reverse psychology VICTIMIZER games and tactics, do not work on me.
The original problem here, was that the man was being BULLIED and shamed, and put down...FEROCIOUSLY....not even for being a bad person, or doing something wrong..........but for being a GOOD MAN? A GOOD/ GREAT boyfriend? Who actually cares about his girlfriend, is actually extremely considerate of her, her feelings, her life, her well being, her future, etc...so much so that he came on here to find out how he could better care for her??? And you clowns Attacked and bullied him. And then in the same breath, you females will say "theres no good men!", "i cant find a good man!", "men are dogs!", crying and talking about how bad men treat you, use you, abuse you, etc. Its pure insanity.
