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?

i am a graduating student from the phil. i too am sometimes getting a bit scared of being outnumbered by women, but what the heck, they need us. we can lift heavy patients more than they do....

Me too im also a student nurse here in the philippines and still an aspiring student to be working in the US or at Europe.By the way guys here in the University where im in isnt that too crowded by females but by males too...my class is composed of 29 females and 18 males...im on my sophomore yrs now....

We're making our presence known guys; not in big numbers but definitely everyone is aware. I don't want to sound sexist but I've heard that the nursing schools tend to put a little more priority in excepting males and students with the highest gpa first.

Hi Lector, I'm here in the US but have been to the phils a few times within the last 3 yrs. I always see so many nursing students male and female at the mall when I'm there. I know a few nurses from the phils. that came here to the US and they had to go back to school for about 6 months to a yr before they could get their license here. What's that all about? Is there a different program there? Are there different requirements there also?

I've been the guy in nursing for over 20 years. The stories I could tell....Just keep at it and be ready for anything. After a while, you'll be treated (by your peers) as one of the girls. It gets really interesting.

Being a guy in the nursing field for so long I know you have many interesting situations and a lot of drama. I know how women can be especially when you put so many together at one time. Are they really asking you to lift many patients?....tell me what's really going on? lol

Hey all...I am 25 years old, a customer service rep for an internet company, and completely bored. I have been thinking for a while of my old goals during high school and college (graduated with a psych BA), about wanted to do important work, yadda yadda. All the ideological stuff young idealists think about. I have become increasingly frustrated with the sit-in-front-of-the-computer-for-8-hours world, and I am very interesting in becoming an RN. I have heard a LOT of horror stories here and elsewhere about the job - anybody here, as a student, have any insight into this career path, from a student perspective? My options are limited due to money, so an accelerated BSN program is what I am going for.

Hi guys! >.O Another male nursing student here to be added to the list. I'm a second year student ( again :( ) in Ontario, Canada. Yeah, too much distractions last year ><. i learned my lesson now... hope. and about the male to female nursing student ratio it is for first second year at school. not sure though.>

Anyway, nice to "meet" you all! >.O

Edit: Ooo forgot to include my age. I just turned 21 recently. ^^ Single ^^; I've um... kinda lost "appetite" for most people in my classes, and most of them are females. I kinda agree with the gossip thing someone here mentioned earlier. Male nursing students seems to be much nicer in my classes, IMO. :p So err.... boys, yes please! :imbar
