Of the 23 other students comprising the group that I entered nursing school with, three of them are men. The class that is graduating at the end of next week I believe has 1 male student, and as far as I know the class immediately behind mine has 1 as well. This is about 60 students (some classes have had students drop), with 6 of them being males; that's only 1 in 10.
So we know that male nurses are few and far between, but how old are we?
The 1 student in the class graduating next week is 28.
The 1 student in the class that entered the semester after mine is at least 30 (a second career-er I believe).
Of the 4 in my class, 2 are about 45, 1 is 40, and then there is me...21.
How old are you guys? How old when you started school?
very interesting to see the ages and that some are in their 50's. how do the ages of men compare to that of the women in the same classes? is the age spread the same?

in my Accelerated BSN program (20% men) i would say the avg. age is equal between men and women. ages range from 23-50yo. the only difference that i see is that all of the guys want to get into icu or er.
