THE STUDENT PILOT WAS LANDING AT THE FIRST STOP OF A LONG CROSS-COUNTRY. DURING THE LANDING APPROACH HER ATTENTION WAS DIVERTED BY ANOTHER AIRPLANE IN THE LANDING PATTERN. SHE STATED THAT SHE SHORTENED THE LANDING PATTERN, WAS A LITTLE FAST ON THE APPROACH, & USED 10 DEGREES VICE 20 DEGREES OF FLAPS. WHEN THE RWY WAS MADE, SHE RETARDED THE THROTTLE, & AS SHE WAS ABOUT TO FLARE FOR LANDING, THE AIRPLANE LANDED HARD. THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED.
