How wonderful that you are going to school and pursuing your dream of being a nurse. I think things will fall in place for you as you get closer to your goal. Nurses are readily employable and schedules are flexible enough to enable you to date and find someone lovely with whom to spend your life. You are young enough that you WILL be able to accomplish your goals.
