Thanks for being helpful. Nursing school with a full time job is our exact situation as well. Well, she's doing an advanced nursing school so instead of 2 years its 15 months (and she's still working about 25-30 hours a week).

We do the same with the gaps. Sometimes we have them and it works out. Sometimes it doesn't. I agree with you on the making it work thing. Some of the comments below about "quitting" are not quite in focus.

We have another 6 months before my schedule will be predictable and hers as well.

What do you use for a digital calendar? I find google calendar so annoying to input lots of info in. We are trying to get better about syncing up on weekends but she usually is doing a 7pm (sat night) - 7am (sun morning) shift and needs to sleep while I am awake.

We use Google calendars. But I use Fantastical (on phone or ipad) to interface with it. Lets me type things in plain English instead of checking boxes.
