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 currently 24 but when I start the program this fall I will be 25. Since the program takes 2.5 years to complete, I will be around 27 years old when I graduate :eek:. Oh well like hugoseal posted, age is just a number.

35 years as an electrical engineer,retired, 57, needed to do something valuable for my next 25 years.... just finished prereqs, starting my nursing school in the fall, will be 59 when I get my RN. Loving it!!!

Starting school Fall 2011 hopefully. Formally I worked as a Corporate Trainer for a tech company. Decided I wanted a change....I'm 31.

37 and am taking pre/co-regs to hopefully start nursing school part time next year. Am currently a chemist. Figure I'll actually get my RN when I'm 41, BSN when I'm 43, and FNP when I'm 47, all part time.
