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?

Hello guys,

I am a married guy father of three doing an FNP program.

Kabin, where will you be attending school? I think if you can handle a course in thermodynamics, you can handle pharmacology and pathophysiology.

It's too bad your friend didn't follow through with nursing. Law practice may pay well in some quarters, but the work really isn't anything more than the redistribution of wealth. I need something more fulfilling.

I'll be attending Grand Canyon University. I hoping the same thing about the course load, as the pre-reqs haven't been too bad. It's a 18 month, three semester program that averages 26 semester hours per semester. I spoke to a regular BSN student there and she said the accelerated program cuts a few assignments out.

At one point, my lawyer friend was pulling in over $200k as a corporate counsel and then the biz went belly up and he had to sell the house and toys. It crushed his ego, but living off a dwindling 401k cleared his head for a little while. Now he's talking about buying all the toys again. :uhoh3:

Hi guys! I'm a girl, obviously but I was wondering if any of you would like to email back and forth during the semester.....It would be interesting to have a guy's persective on NSG school and stuff. I'm in my 3rd year (6 semester) of a 4 year BSN program. PM me if you want........I wish you all the very best this semester.

How many men are in your nursing class?

Out of our class of 51 (started out with 60), we only have 3. One is active duty AF, another a paramedic, and the youngest is a first-career youngster. :)
