Ages of male nursing students?

Nursing Students Male Students

Published

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.

I am 25 and just got accepted. I actually have no idea how what the ratio is, but I will find out in 3 weeks when my Orientation is.

My boyfriend is 46 y/o and will be 47 y/o when he finishes his LPN course. In his class of 24, there are 2 other guys. One is in his mid-30's, and the other is maybe 40. This will be a third career for him - he was a bricklayer for 23 years and was in the Army before that. He plans on doing a LPN-BSN program while working as a LPN.

I will have to leave working on a boat on the great barrier reef for a classroom in Denver... I hope I'm making the right decision.....

Well the view out the window is not going to be as beautiful....but something made you decide to become a nurse, remember what those reasons are if you start to doubt your decision.

Congrats on getting into the program! :yeah:

The other guys in our program at different levels are all in their early 20's. We had one guy who was 42 but he lasted 3 weeks.

I'm 37 and was just accepted into a nursing program. Hopefully if I make it will be 40 when I graduate. I wonder why he only lasted 3 weeks?

I started nursing at 19 and I just turned 24 and got my RN license. :D
