Re: I think that I may be the oldest male nursing student when I enter this fall
The oldest person in my class, who happened to be male, was 52, but several of us were over 45 at the time. Maybe we need to start a thread about the differences between perceptions of newbie nurses who are young or older. I definately experienced age discrimination because my chronological age was greater than my nursing age such as "you should know that, you're a nurse!"
Best of luck to you in school! I so much more appreciated the learning now than I did in my early 20's!
