    I am 22. I grew up working at a nursing home with my mom who is an LPN. I am in an LPN program now and I plan to work towards my RN then possibly my MSN since my college has RN to MSN where you earn your BSN and MSN. I went to other colleges for 3 years not know what I wanted to do, but then I realized that this is where I wanted to be and I am glad I am doing what I love.

    I just received my acceptance letter exactly one week ago. I am 30 and will be when I start in the fall. Unfortunately, due to financial issues I will need to do my first year in the residence hall. I don't know how that will be...we'll see!

    Quote from Stearnsy
    Of the 23 other students comprising the group that I entered nursing school with, three of them are men. The class that is graduating at the end of next week I believe has 1 male student, and as far as I know the class immediately behind mine has 1 as well. This is about 60 students (some classes have had students drop), with 6 of them being males; that's only 1 in 10.

    So we know that male nurses are few and far between, but how old are we?

    The 1 student in the class graduating next week is 28.
    The 1 student in the class that entered the semester after mine is at least 30 (a second career-er I believe).
    Of the 4 in my class, 2 are about 45, 1 is 40, and then there is me...21.

    How old are you guys? How old when you started school?

    Just curious. :spin:

    I'm in my first year of my ASN at 24. Husband to a wonderful wife, Dad to 3 great kiddos. Out of the class of 67 that I am in, 7 of us are guys. I'm the second youngest at 24. The others are 22, 29, 33, 45, 37, and 38. Oh wait, there was a 19 year old but he dropped last week....
