Hi All!

I'm a crazy father of 2 ex-premed who just recently turned down Northwestern to go into a RN program.

I already have an Associate in Science, but I'll be getting another ADN and then go to a 4 yr school.

When I went to an info session about the RN program ill be trying to get into, out of like 70 ppl only 5 were guys.

So I want to know are there any men out there?

Yeah, here's one. I'll be starting a Nurse Doctorate program at the Uni. Colorado Aug. 25!

here's another. senior at university of tx @ arlington!! i know what you mean agent- when we started last fall out of ~100 there were 10 guys, now due to some of them failing classes we are down to like 5 or 6 now.

Glad to see you guys.

I think it will be slightly to my advantage to be the only guys amongst a bunch of women, but im also slightly scared by it.

Being a single guy, I guess I'll just have to deal with it

I'm a male ADN student. I'll be starting in 2 weeks at San Jacinto College in Houston.

Being the rare guy isn't that big of a deal. When I got my Vet Tech degree (vet equivalent of an ADN) I was the only male in a graduating class of 28. From what I saw in orientation, it looks like men will be mopre common this time around.

We have to stick together in an estrogen world... glad to see that there are more than 3 guys on here!!!

I'm a single 35 year old guy going into my second year of a 4 year program at the University of New Brunswick. I am one of about 10 students out of a class of 90 or so. I'm told that's the highest percentage of guys they've ever had in a class.
