I don't know if it helps with admission but at my school we have a new scholarship program for minorities which includes males. It really helped out a lot of the guys in our program and I thought was a good way to encourage more underrepresented groups to enter nursing.

The relationship that I experienced was similiar to the what I experienced in Womans Psychologly 20 years later

You are in the same place but not the same context

You will get the heavy lifiting assigmnets, transfer patients to and from any and every where especialy if they are combative

You will walk with your sisters out to the parking lot at night not realizing the a favor for you is alleviates a very real fear in them

I used to think that when patients were pronunced with a time of death that was sufficent
But my friend Katie reminded me that patients don't expire or become morbidty stats or cadevers ect
They go to heaven

Men and women are treated differently which is a blessing
young and old and experienced and inexperienced transcend gender

I applied and was accepted a couple of months ago to a two year nursing program. They score the applicants by ACT scores (up to 4 points), Anatomy I grade (up to 3 points), and give an extra point for a bachelors degree. GPA comes into play if there are ties. There is no preference for race, age or sex.

Angry Re: Does being a guy have any affect on being accepted into your schools nursing prog
The school I am in is based ONLY on GPA. The only thing that I and others have noticed is that some of the instructors have something against the male students. In lab no matter what the males do, its not right and some of them get down right mad and even snoty at the male students. And then a female student does it just as we did, or not even as good and they tell her "oh good job that is how we like to see it done" and the males stand there in aww that some of them dont even try to hid it.

I notice and have been told that all schools have issues with, when you ask 3 different lab instructors you will get 3 different answers. Then when you take the lab check off (test) and you fail because this other instructors tells you that is not how you do what ever it is, even if 10 min before you were just told that by an instructor. Its very frusterating. I finaly said something to one of them and she said "I think we are very consistent" I said "yes you guys, you all give different answers that is what is consistent."Its to late to change schools now so I just have to deal with it, well all the people in my class have to.
