Romantic illumination may please nursing student (11)
I believe the answer is:
candlelight
'romantic illumination' is the definition.
'candlelight' can be an answer for 'illumination' (I have seen 'Early illumination ' mean 'candlelight' so perhaps 'illumination' could also mean 'candlelight'). I am not certain of the 'romantic' bit.
'may please nursing student' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'may' could be 'can' (synonyms) and 'can' is present in the answer.
'student' could be 'l' (learner, as in L-plates for learner drivers) and 'l' is found within the answer.
'please' could be 'delight' (synonyms) and 'delight' is present in the leftover letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for candlelight that I've seen before include "Early illumination" , "Romantic glow" , "Dim illumination from tapers, etc" .)
