I'm 27 going as a 2nd bachelor's degree student. You'll find alot of people going back because of layoffs but it seems like most guys care too much about what people have to say about them choosing nursing as a career when they're 18 so you'll find the few male students to be slightly older, imo.

I'm 25, I start my accelerated BSN program in Aug. My younger brother is 19, he starts his LPN program in Jan. There has only been one to two other males in my preq classes and they were doing PA programs.

I'll be graduating in the fall at age 40. My wife and I are going through together, as a second career, so I'm probably having a little different experience than most men in nursing school.

Out of a class of 72, we have 12 men ranging from ages 21 to 39. This a record number of men in a single graduating class for our school. It's actually made class a lot of fun to have this many men in there. We're kind of the special ed. group.

I'm 39 (turning 40 next month) and just started the first of my prereqs last week (A&P, which I took already 20 years ago but my intended BSN program wants it completed within last 7 years). Hope to enter an accelerated BSN next May at age 40 and graduate the following May @ age 41. By the time I receive successful NCLEX results (fingers crossed) and start "RNing" I should be 42.

BTW, I plan to retire @ 75 ... God willing my health continues well

I am 37 years old, entered nursing school at 33 in rural Texas, in a class of 65, with more than 75% less than 30 years old,3 men, by graduation, just two guys of us walked. After 2 years on the floor, I’ll be back in school for FNP beginning fall 2009.So far from the school administration, I am the only guy in a class of 17, but this time age ranges from 25-53 with more than 60% above 35 years.
