It will take a while for them to settle in, but then they will last a long time. Most of my nylon string experience is with ukulele, and those strings get changed *maybe* once a year. And they get played hard for 3-4 hours a week, strummed with a felt pick while leading a group.

You will also need to recalibrate your "touch". When coming from steel strings, you will use a death grip at first, pressing way too hard. It always takes me a few minutes to lighten up when playing a nylon strung guitar. Nylon has worked great on a couple of occasions where my hand needed some rehab.
