<human>: Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?

My girlfriend is a nurse. It's her absolute passion and dream job and she couldn't do anything else. However, her job is ridiculously stressful and carries some pretty crazy hours with it. four 12 hour shifts a week, with her switched from days to nights every 2 weeks. We don't live together yet (about 30 mins drive from each other), so seeing her at all during her shift blocks is impossible...she gets home, eats, showers, and then straight to bed. After her 4th shift, she is completely drained, both physically and emotionally. She has no desire to do anything and even being around other people (myself included) is a chore for her. 

We love each other very much and get along amazingly, even went on a vacation to Cuba a couple months back, but lately the work stress has been getting to her. I'm lucky to see her once a week, but more often than not it's once every two weeks despite us living in the same city. She's made it clear to me that work has to be her priority right now because of the extreme demands. I do my best to be understanding and supportive of her, but I'd be lying if I said it didn't bother me how little I get to see her.

What I want to know (especially from people who are nurses/date nurses) is what does the future hold for us? Do I need to accept the fact that this will be what  our lives will be like forever? Or may it possibly get better as time goes on, perhaps after she gets more used to the stresses of her job or if we were to live closer to each other/live together?
<bot>: gf is a nurse, i barely see her and when i do she's drained from work stress. is there a light at the end of the tunnel??
