The Guys Club: Guy Students Come on In!

I'm 32 year old male with a degree in Industrial Engineering. I decided to change feilds due to the unstable manufacturing feild. Plus the federal government is paying for all my school since my plant closed due to off shore competition. I have to have Job security. I just got accepted a month ago. I am not sure how many males will be in our class. We had over 600 applications and they only accepted 70 people. Good luck to everyone.

I'm a guy! I'm starting a BSN program in Jan. I'm one of 7 guys!

Another guy here !!! Just getting ready to start the first semester of an ASN program on my way to BSN and hopefully CRNA. There are 6 guys out of aprox. 90 students starting Aug. 18. I am getting used to being the minority in the classes and sometimes its quite fun and definately interesting !!!

Here's another one...
I'm starting the program at Florida State Univ. on the 25th. I have no idea how many other guys are in the program. Hoping I'm not the only one...

Take care all!

Hey! What about us old farts who have been Nurses for 20+ years? Do we get to join too?

All:

- Am a former owner-operator (trucker) for North American Van Lines. Went to college & eventually got MS-Comp Sci and now work for American General Finance (Evansville, Indiana) as a software programmer.

- Am 39 yrs old, single (hey ladies!!!), never married, no kids, and want to try this RN thing.

- Would like to eventually do the travel nurse thing. Possibly go for CRNA if grades are good enough.

Congrats to all the guys who are nurses and who are becoming nurses.

hey

I'm 18 and Im starting the NEPS program in a few weeks (Nursing Education program of Saskatchewan)

I'm taking 4 year course, then working in the ER or as a Perioperative RN for a few years, then I plan to continue my education with a little experience behind me and become a Nurse Practitioner

I'm glad to see so many guys on this board. I am totally FREAKED out that I will be alone in my nursing classes (we have 250 seats, only 12 are guys) and I don't want to sit by myself everyday because I don't want to talk about hair or nails.

Hopefully I'll meet some girls who watch CFL lol. I'm sure there are going to be plenty of people in the my classes that I'll get along with.

Good luck to everyone.

35 year old, married father of 2 here. Will be making the transition from a career as a computer programmer/analyst to nursing. I've completed most of my prereqs and am now applying for admission to nursing school either in the Spring or Fall of 2004. Long term goal is hopefully the CRNA path, but that is a long way down the road. We'll have to see how things pan out. Good luck to you all.
