Ages of male nursing students?

Nursing Students Male Students

Published

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?

Just curious.

I was 1 of 2 in a class of 30.

Hey guys. I started the RN program spring two years ago and was 21. Got my LPN license July last year and my RN license 3 days ago ...both at age 23 :-)

I am a 25 year old paramedic waiting to hear by from my schools that I applied to. Fingers crossed.

Specializes in Nursing Education, CVICU, Float Pool.

I am going crazy trying to wait for the decision from all the schools I applied too! And I have to wait all the way until May and June for all of my decisions!!! Ahhh!!! Lolz!!! :)

Congratulations, R.NICU!!

I'm in my second semester of nursing school. I'm 58 yrs-old. If all goes well, I'll graduate in May 2012.
