I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, so if not maybe a moderator can help me out.
I'm not a nursing student. I'm 26, graduated college with a business degree, and work as a project manager (8-5 M-F). I am currently dating a nursing student (about 3 months). He is wrapping up the current semester this month and he starts his final semester in July (Jul-Dec). He also works 12 hour shifts (night shifts) usually on the weekends.
This guy is amazing, and I'm fairly confident he's going to be a big part of my life. I know nursing school is extremely stressful and it takes a ton of dedication and focus.
Anyone here have any (helpful) advice for how to date a nursing student? I have nothing but respect for y'all - this is a very challenging career to prepare for. I'd really like to hear from some of you that have dated while in school and what worked well and what was a total disaster.
Allow him time to study. That's very important.
Absolutely! I want him to succeed and be the best dang nurse he can be!
My boyfriend made home made dinner while I studied at my desk. Nothing relieved my stress then being spoiled with a good meal after studying all day.
I may have to brush up on (or develop) my culinary skills! Good idea! 🙂
Omg yes! That's the best thing my boyfriend has done for me during the semester. Because we usually eat crummy school or hospital food, so a home cooked meal is a welcomed activity. Even if it's basic pasta or whatnot it's awesome. also knowing when he needs to take a little break, and catch up on an episode or two on Netflix.
Understand how stressed and tired we are. Sometimes we just need space or sleep. Nursing is a very difficult program, and requires majority of our time. My ex couldn't understand that instead of going out; I preferred staying home, or that I fell asleep at 9pm or that sometimes I needed alone time. It ended up being a deal breaker cause he couldn't bring himself to understand why. It's not that I didn't like him or want to spend time with him... it was more I had no energy anymore.
Thanks for sharing that. I thought about proposing a "study night" where I can make us supper, he can study and I will study for a certification or something career related at the same time. We both get to see each other (but no talking during study time) and we both better ourselves. Thoughts?
Work around his schedule because he's going to be busy as all hell.
I'm in nursing school. My girlfriend is in nursing school. On a good week, we see each other twice.
Just listening to him tell me about all the exams and clinical paperwork and med sheets and everything he has to do... sometimes is stresses ME out FOR him!
Mostly just help out with the ancillary stuff - cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc. It's nice when you come home and there's nothing left to do but study.
Recognize that sometimes some quiet time and space is nice. It is NOT a reflection on you, so please don't take it personally. We all need that sometimes, but especially during your last leg of school. Also, I'm not sure what unit he's working on, but we all have pretty horrific experiences sometimes that affect us. Sometimes he might want to talk about it, other times he might not want to. Again, it's nothing personal. Sometimes when people in my life tell me what a shitty day they had and then ask about mine, it's like, "well actually a patient died holding my hand today." But I don't want to mention it and bring their mood down, so I'll just say, "it was tough. Let's leave it at that."
Finally, as you're thinking this might progress to a long-term thing: the stress doesn't end when you graduate. Your first year as a new nurse is a huge learning curve as well, as you hunt for jobs, get used to a new floor, and start developing confidence in your clinical abilities. This is just the beginning of his journey, not the end. So buckle in, because the next couple of years may be a bit rocky. But having someone stable by his side while he navigates this new territory is going to be such a huge help.
Thank you so much for posting this. Really helped broaden my perspective.
Long clinical days might be the best to go out. After 12 hours at clinical, studying's not really appealing. So pick him up after that and get wasted together.
Oh my god I do not do anything after a 12 hour shift.
Sometimes after an exam he'll come over and we'll both throw back a few beers!
We don't live together, but I have offered to drop off supper real quick so he can get back to school work and stay focused.
It's the little things that make all the difference in the world. Like don't make him feel guilty for having to study instead of going out on a date or hanging out with your friends
Also. Nurses tend to be givers , who then go home and continue to take care of their family. Then they experience compassion fatigue
So being taken care of is a nice, and welcome surprise. Things like food, laundry, dishes, cleaning the house
You don't have to take on all of that. But helping with things like that without being nagged really makes a difference.
Massage coupons. Don't buy those dumb novelty T shirts / mugs. No one likes those.
Thank you. All good stuff here. I think I'll buy us a couples massage and he can redeem it whenever he has a little downtime (I use that word lightly) in his schedule.
Sometimes we like to sit at stare at a wall for an hour because we've forgotten what it's like to not do anything.
Wait no I think that's just me, so if someone dates me I need my wall staring time
Haha! Some nights when I sit and stare at the wall, my TV magically turns itself on Netflix and then two seasons later I have to go to work ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Definitely understand the much need "me time" thing though!
You sound like you are a really good partner & already have it under control :) More than anything, it's about relieving the pressure. If you were supposed to have plans and he suddenly starts freaking out about an exam / needing to study instead... don't hate him for it. it only adds more stress. good luck to you both!
Thank you for that! Definitely agree about making every effort to remove stress instead of creating stress. You all have such good advice - I'm very appreciative!

If you’re currently dating a nurse, congratulations! You’ll know the truth of each of these points. If you’re not, then perhaps after reading this you’ll want to visit the nearest hospital.
Here are 10 things to know before you date a nurse:
We are innately caring and loving. We should be because that’s our job. We take care of multiple patients on a daily basis, so taking care of you–a single person–is a day off for us. If you get sick, trust us when we say: “You’re in good hands.”
Knowledge, skills, and heart–my nursing days revolved around these three aspects. It’s not enough to be a smart cookie or ace the practical tests. Kindness and compassion are key values and among the necessary intangibles a good nurse provides patients. Rest assured, these qualities aren’t put on. It’s just who we are.
Stress is our frenemy. It’s a phenomenon we face daily. We can’t hide from it so we might as well befriend it. Several admissions, medication that’s due, feedings, emergencies–this all happens simultaneously. Did I mention demanding relatives and incomprehensible doctors’ orders on top of these?
So, what’s in it for you? No matter how stressful or demanding your life is, you’re dating someone who can handle it.
Our work may not be glamorous. And yes, it mostly involves blood, internal organs and a host of other undesirable things that can make even the strongest men squeamish. You won’t hear us say “Eew!”,”Yuck!”, or “That’s gross!” because we’ve seen worse.
Most relationships end because of poor communication. If you’re dating a nurse, scratch that off your list. We are good listeners. Heck, we are great listeners! Every day we listen to our patients’ life stories, the life stories of their relatives, and the life stories of their friends’ friends. If we need more information from a patient, we are trained to draw it out of them. This is the circle of life for us.
So don’t worry about saying too much. Or too little, for that matter. For us, there’s no such thing.
We live on extremely busy schedules, so when it comes to food, we eat whatever’s edible. We don’t even have to reheat last night’s lasagna. We don’t give a fuss about what we eat on date night because we know you’re saving up for our future. Right?
The sound of children crying is completely normal for us. Tantrums? There’s nothing our “Patch Adams” like approach can’t handle. Go ahead and imagine our family together because you know you’re dating an awesome parent-to-be.
We don’t all have the time to jog outside or own a personal treadmill , but we do a lot of running and brisk walking in hospital corridors. Retracting internal organs for a three hour operation also helps strengthen our arms. We don’t get tired easily and we are great with graveyard shifts –long and sleepless nights are our specialty.
Sure, we’re good with kids. But did you know we’re also good with older individuals? We know the uncharted ways to get by with stubborn, older patients. All you have to do is introduce us to your parents and by the end of the day we’ll practically be best friends forever.
A simple ‘thank you’ means the world to us. That’s how appreciative we are for the little things. We give 200% percent every day to our patients and expect nothing in return. A kind gesture can make our day. You don’t have to buy us fancy gifts or take us on luxury dates; it’s the simple things matter to us.
To all those individuals we are currently dating or married to, thanks for appreciating how awesome it is to have a nurse as your better half. For those of you still looking for that special someone, maybe it’s time to fake an accident.

Home » NurseLife » 10 Reasons Dating a Nurse is Like Winning the Lottery: An Infographic
Matt Vera is a registered nurse with a bachelor of science in nursing since 2009 and is currently working as a full-time writer and editor for Nurseslabs. During his time as a student, he knows how frustrating it is to cram on difficult nursing topics. Finding help online is nearly impossible. His situation drove his passion for helping student nurses by creating content and lectures that are easy to digest. Knowing how valuable nurses are in delivering quality healthcare but limited in number, he wants to educate and inspire nursing students. As a nurse educator since 2010, his goal in Nurseslabs is to simplify the learning process, break down complicated topics, help motivate learners, and look for unique ways of assisting students in mastering core nursing concepts effectively.

There are plenty of careers out there that often get labelled a nice “bonus” in dating, but few can compete with nursing. Dating a nurse is like winning the lottery – sure, you won’t get rich , but you’ll find that the myriad bonuses that come with a nurse are worth far more than any paycheck. Of course, nurses do earn a nice paycheck, too.
It’s no secret that the economy is rough these days. The job market’s in shambles, and people everywhere are wondering if their jobs will still be there a few years from now. Nurses are on an ever-shortening list of careers that seem to be in no danger, though. It’s not often at all that you hear the words “Nurse” and “laid off.” With a nurse as your partner in life, you can be more confident about your financial future – even if your own career gets rocky, they’ll be a stabilizing force for the both of you.
One of the first things a nurse learns is patience. Don’t leap to conclusions, don’t act recklessly, try to get a full read on what’s really going on – it’s necessary because they’re dealing with other peoples’ lives on a daily basis. This same mentality applies to life at home, especially when the occasional argument arises. Nurses are less likely to “make mountains out of molehills,” which means spats at home are less likely to turn into full-blown marital problems.
Most people are tied to the town they’re in, and it’s very hard for them to pick up and move to a new place if they ever want a change of scenery. The biggest hurdle to moving to a new place is often the plain and simple fact that, in order to do it, you’d have to leave the job you have and find a new one in the area you’d like to make your new home. Nurses have job portability; they’re able to be a nurse anywhere, and nurses are needed everywhere. So, if you and your nurse want to move to another state, into the city, or out to the ‘burbs, you’ve got that option available – with a lot less worry and heartache than you’d have otherwise.
At the core, nurses are caregivers . They don’t go through the long process of becoming a nurse just for the paycheck (it may be good, but it’s not that good). They want to help people, and that says a great deal about a person. We’ve all heard stories about the egotistical nightmares that our friends have dated – or even experienced them ourselves – but it’s a rare tale that one of them was a nurse. Having a partner who’s a genuinely caring person is important, and you’re definitely taking a step in the right direction if you’re dating a nurse.
So many people work in a job that they hate, a job full of people they can’t stand, forced to spend eight hours a day staring at the walls of their cubicle, with very little real human contact. Jobs like these drain people so badly that they end up miserable all the time. When a nurse goes home at the end of the day, they may be tired, but they won’t be drained by a soulless job in a cube farm. Nurses see and talk to people all day, they get to know their co-workers, and they’re able to socialize while getting the job done. Happiness at work leads to happiness at home, and that’s good for the both of you.
When your job is to deal with literal life and death situations on a daily basis, you tend to be a bit tougher to frazzle at home. Spilt milk on new carpet is no longer the end of the world – it’s just spilt milk. Nurses are hard to stress with everyday home-life drama, and having a partner who won’t crack with every little problem that comes along can be invaluable to anyone.
Nurses may spend most of the day on their feet, but they also spend it socializing in one way or another. This somewhat odd mix of a nurse’s daily work-life means that they usually like a nice mix between going out for drinks and vegging out on the couch with their partner. They rarely act a fool when going out for a night on the town, but they’re also not likely to be against going out in the first place! It’s easy to forget that a career can affect time off-the-clock, and it’s nice to have a partner that will spend that time with you in a way you can both enjoy.
Nurses deal with people – that’s just what they do. A big part of that is talking, whether it’s patients or their family members, and while it may not be the primary goal of the conversation, nurses tend to learn an awful lot about everyone in the area, and what’s happening in town. It’s pretty nice to have a partner whose real-life social network is more expansive than most teenagers’ Facebook pages. You’re never out of the loop!
Healthy Lifestyle, Stay in Better Shape
Countless relationships go on the rocks, or even flat-out fail because somebody doesn’t stay in shape. It sounds horrible to say it, but it’s not easy to keep the fire going if you’re having trouble finding your partner physically attractive. Nurses don’t spend all day at work sitting in an ergonomic chair, eating donuts. They’re up and moving all day, keeping active – they also tend to exercise more, as they’re constantly telling patients to do it themselves! So while you may need to motivate yourself to keep in shape, it’s unlikely that you’ll have to get on your nurse partner about it, because they’ll probably be in better shape than you are.
This final point is so obvious, but easily the single biggest reason why anyone would be lucky to have a nurse for a partner – the health benefits. You would literally have a live-in nurse. You would have a massive amount of medical know-how at your disposal, any time of day. You’d never have to panic (too much) with a sick child or sudden stomach pain , because the first person you instinctively call for in that moment is already a nurse. No amount of medical insurance can bring that much comfort to a household.
I agree with all the reasons given. Now where do I get my angel?
This is bullshit. I am dating a nurse and I am so miserable because we never see each other. Time off from work doesn’t mean anything when nurses work weekends and holidays while getting days off while the rest of us regular folk are working the weekday 9-5. Then when they get home from their 12 hour shifts, they’re so tired that they don’t want to do anything except shower, eat, and sleep. Happy at work = happy at home? Bullshit. Nurses are NOT happy at work because they have to put up with so much shit and their bad mood follows them home. Dating a nurse is nothing like having a live-in nurse. Oh you have a wittle cough and fever? Better suck it up and deal because the nurse you’re dating is not going to give a shit unless you’re literally on your deathbed. It’s like asking a software engineer to help fix your computer after work. Nobody wants to bring their work home after having just finished doing it for 8+ hours and nurses are no exception. This infographic is just a bunch of feel-good nonsense to let single nurses feel better about themselves.
You understand clearly what nurses doing in their work every day. But obviously you satified with your girlfriend’s work. Do you love her actually? If you were real,so your love would help her out and one of these things would become the meaning of your life.
If you are this unhappy in your relationship, why are you still in it? I work every weekend and most holidays, and I don’t bitch anywhere near as much in the whole year as you did in
