Understanding why the sky is blue isn't going to matter much to a nursing student, except to improve her/his self-edification.
However, physics has a lot of real-world applications to biology. For example, how do we know how to treat hypertension, if we don't understand how blood exerts pressure on the sides of a bloo vessel? How do we understand how our lungs operate if we don't know about air pressure? How do we treat limb and muscle injuries if we don't understand simple mechanics?
so yeah, tohse are a few ways I can think of offhand how physics applies to nursing. No, I didn't like studying it either, but it'll come in handy when I get a job in clinical medicine, too.

Everyone should have a basic understanding of the principles that occur in our universe and on our planet.
And if you never take it you won't be able answer to questions like, Why is the sky blue? Instead of saying something like because the air is blue, lol. You can say it's caused by the refraction of sun light at the ozone. lol
