Hi. First of all thank you for being so supportive of your girlfriend. That is probably the best thing you can do to help her. I am sure she appreciates this a lot. Nursing school is long and many programs require student to have c or higher to pass each course. Also many papers and research needs to be done as well as countless hours studying. Labs and clinical are also part of the curriculum and students need to be prepared for those as well. It might feel hard at the beginning but it gets easier as time goes by. Clinical may take from 6:30 am, usually 8 hours and may end at 11 pm for late shift. No overnight in school. It can be a lot of stress at times but not all the time. As a student having a quiet rooom to study is important also a lot of support and encouragement at times. Relaxation and family time also is needed. One more important thing: asking for help. Professors usually like to be asked if students need help. I aced my logic class but I had a rough start. I emailed my professor and exercises to help studying. He explained the material and sent me some exercises to work on similar to the test we had. He also emailed and helped when i did not know tbe answer. I aced my next exam. So good luck! nursing school is hard but it is very rewarding!!! Also good pay, time off and job security.
