First i'll point out that this thread is over a year old.
Second, I will point out that nursing students do not have the monopoly on strenuous majors and classes that are "time consuming" and "important". Not only did my chapter have a number of nursing majors (I went to Pitt,which has a pretty damn good nursing program) who were able to balance their time (even when pledging during a semester where they had clinicals), but we had women of many other demanding majors. Of course, if a person doesn't know how to manage their time, they may run into a problem, but that isn't in an relation to what major they are.
