Ages of male nursing students?

Wow i think i am the youngest guy to be in nursing school in the country!! Im only 18 and i graduate in an month. I know for sure that i will be the youngest nurse in the hospital that i plan to work at!

Hi All,
I am currently 56, and just completed my CNA, CHHA, RNA. Also completed a special class called "Health Care Essentials" -- a prereq. -- for the LVN program. All of the preceeding with a "A" average . Successfully competed for a seat in a 60 seat LVN program against a field of 400+. Start August 17th and will complete the program 18 months later. With a 30 years history of many different jobs, all of which I did well, the choice to become a nurse was made after a dilligent year long career search. The pointer, based on my criteria, kept coming back to nursing. A friend, also started nursing school when she was 55 or 56 and is currently working per diem as a pediactric nurse at the age of 76. She stated, "If I can do it so can you." I believe she will be proved correct.

I also study best alone. The only group technique that I have found beneficial is to find a few "A " students in the class, get their ##s and schedule a study scession after each has pre-studied the assignment. The goal is to only go over questions or learning points that are unclear or confusing. This technique takes a friendly smile and some pleasant socially aggressive action. There will be some who say no, but others are just as interested in being an "A" student as you are. The key is to smile and have a friendly voice. The negative is that you must find a way to avoid the "C" and "D" students -- unless you wish to lead a learning clinic. Crossover to RN will come after getting the LVN license.

Best of luck to all of us old flaulents!!
