When I first started nursing school I was 18, and there were two men in a class of around 50. The other guy was in his mid to late 20s. Unfortunately, I wasn't ready to be a college student at the time, so the other guy was the only one in the graduating class.

After a couple of other careers, I returned to nursing school at 46. When the class started, there were six of us in a class of 56, however three of the guys dropped out for various reasons. When we finished the first year, there were 39 students who finished the LPN portion (its a progressive ADN program). When the second year began, there were again six guys and around 50 women (LPNs returning to get their RN refilled the class).

We've got two distinct age groups in our class -- the around 30 year olds and the around 50 year olds. The ladies have a more even distribution, running from the early 20s to the 40-somethings.

Hello,

I'm 64, as in "Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm 64." (My apologies to Lennon/McCartney.) I retired from teaching high school biology after 39 years. Last Monday was my first day of nursing school.

I really do not think it matters when you start. We guys are treated differently in a good way or bad by just being men. I am not being pessamistic however.

I am 35. Most of the guys I have met in the Buffalo area are in their late twenties to thrities in my nursing school. We are diverse. I would not feel bad starting out as early as you are. If this is what you want to be I commend you for finding out so early. I wish I had done that. Good luck in your career.

I will be 35 in November. Hoping to actually begin NS next August, and I'm taking pre-reqs now.

I just started an ADN program last month. I'm 30 years old. Just to cover the other questions you had, there are...5 guys in a class of about 60 or so.

One fellow looks in his 40's, another upper 30's, another about 23, another maybe 26, and the other one maybe mid-thirties.
