Sure it is. Nobody would admit to it officially, but they want men in the profession. As long as you are competitive with the other candidates, you'll get in.

I'm sorry, but what the op posted isn't an article with some content worth perusing but a diatribe. What is worse, he didn't even bother to proof read it; assuming that as he is getting ready to...

Get thee to amazon.com and search on "mens white nursing shoes" and you will have lots to choose from, more than I had when I ordered them almost 3 years ago. I ordered the Pro-Step Men's Anderson...

It's an 18 month program at nights and on weekends. You start with a bridge course and then roll in to the last two semesters of the RN program. Now that the last E/W class is finishing up in...

Take it one day at a time, one test at a time, one clinical at a time. Sure you have to look down the road and prepare, but it can become very overwhelming at times, hence the one day at a time...

If they haven't changed what they ask (I'm going into the last term starting in June) then its pretty basic stuff, why do you want to be a nurse, maybe a question or two about your background or...

Good article. My only comment about the "manliness" is that maybe a better term would be "macho" or "machismo" if you want to be technically correct. That type of behavior or attitude has no place...

Lots of the posts here are from folks looking for help with their resume or cover letters or both. I've been around the block in other industries and have had success over the years (over 20) with...

My guess would be they want to see one of your performance reviews from your current job. I've never had a prospective employer ask for something like that, but I've never worked for a state prison...

Your resume should read like a sales brochure for you. You are selling yourself to a future employer. Start out with a summary or branding statement. 3-4 lines that describes what kind of nurse you...

Good advice so far. One of the things you want to add to your resume would be an objective or "branding statement" at the top that essentially sells you to the new employer. It has to summarize...

I'm in the process of moving from one career field to another and as part of the transition I got professional assistance from a company called "Right Management" for updating my resume and job...

Way too long. You don't need to spell out Baccalaureate of Science in Nursing twice, just use BSN and do it once, they will remember. Use the cover letter to tie the job requirements to specifics...

Rule #1: Don't mess around in class with any of the ladies, because if it goes south, then you have to see her and all her friends for the next several years and they do talk. Rule #2: Learn to...

Long term you may want to rethink going for RN. Of course its all dependent on location, but in many areas they are moving away from LPN's to using RN's. Plus, an LPN salary isn't going too go to...

Riverside in Newport news has both a days and evening/weekend LPN program. Days is 12 months, E/W is 18 months and the cost is about 4 grand a semester (3 semesters either way). It's a well...

Tell me what bad things you've heard about Riverside, I've been going there for over 2 years now in the evening program, and I haven't heard anything really critical. It's a well respected program...

As everyone else has said, officially there is no discrimination for or against guys getting into school. Unofficially, they love having a few of us in there, it adds a perspective to the class that...

Not sure what your uniform looks like, but I have pants with pockets so I keep my wallet there. We also have these silly looking vests and the pockets are deep enough for bandage scissors and tape...

Hopefully get a job. After that, we'll see.

I click on an student nurses general link and it tries to go here: http://beta.allnurses.com/general-nursing-student/ It then asks me for a user and password and even with the correct one, it...

Similar issues as other folks. Posts after the 15th seem to be missing, had lots of issues trying to log into a specific forum, somehow the software prepended beta in front of allnurses.com. Manage...

You'll do fine, don't psych yourself out. You got this far and it wasn't on luck.

It sounds like you are in a similar situation to my stepdaughter. She said she wanted to be a nurse but was not accepted into the program at her school so she was taking classes in anticipation. ...

Dude, don't freak yourself out. If you already have the EMT training, you have a flavor of what nursing is about. First semester will probably not be as intense as what follows, so you have time to...
