The Guys Club: Guy Students Come on In!

Hey,
I'm a "fe-MALE" student nurse starting a BSN program in the fall...
Just wanted to welcome you guys!
Our clas is about 80 with 5 guys...
Welcome again and the "girls" will be joining the "guy club" whether you like it or not...

hey guys,
I'm a dad and father of two, and I'm also going for my BSN. I'm Still doing my pre-reqs though and should be applying to get into a program in about a year. I was kind of worried that I would be the only guy in my classes for some of the pre-reqs also, but their were quite a few other guys doing the pre-reqs with the intentions of getting into a nursing program. We all sat together in the classes and I hope I run into them again later on as they were good guys(they were ahead of me and got into a program this year) I'm also getting my BSN with the intention of going for my CRNA later(hopefully). Anyway, glad to see so many other guys getting into the field and it's good to see the reception were getting from the gals as well. Good luck to everyone(guys and gals). B.T.H

Hey guys. I just graduated from an ADN. Some of the best students that I know will make the best nurses were the guys in my class. I am so glad to see more and more male students take up nursing.

Was one of 3 males in a class of 90+.

If you just love psych, not to worry, you'll fit right in.

You must feign some interest while the basic "hair-skin-nails-boyfriend" rants are in session. I found that to be difficult because.......I'm balding, clip my nails as soon as I notice they have grown, don't do anything to my skin except use regular soap and it looks good , I have never had a boyfriend and have never left my underwear next to the laundry basket

I left nursing after a semester. It wasn't because I felt unwelcome, I just couldn't get into the psychosocial stuff. As a result of my aforementioned social deficiencies, compounded with my disdain of psychosocial diagnosis, I absolutely did not fit in.

I think a guys club is a great idea though, nursing students most definitely need a male perspective to ponder.

Agent-
I'm curious as to what made you change your mind and go into nursing instead of med school. Personally, I looked at med school as an option but was turned off by the high cost and the amount of time it would take to finish. Nursing has been something I've considered for many years and I love the fact that it's so flexible and gives you so many options.
Interested to hear your story...

Hey guys......I am a nursing student in Houston. Just about to start school for my R.N. and propbably go on to get my Masters for N.P.

Any advice? Is nursing school a bi%*h?

Stay cool.....Matt
