Ages of male nursing 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 started ADN school in May of 2011 at age 27 and will graduate in April 2013 at age 29. I am the youngest guy in my program. 24 students. 4 guys. ages 28, 32, 35, 36 (I think with the last 2)

i'm still doing pre-reqs but damn i'm always the youngest one in the class.

I'm 53 and doing prereqs.

My A&P instructor wondered why I didn't want to go to medical school.

Because I'd finish just in time to retire.

I think it is great I am waiting to take my CPNR exam to complete my Excelsior requirement.

Specializes in ICU, ED, cardiac, surgery, cath lab..

I'm 21 and graduating with my BSN this December. I only know of one person younger than me in my graduating class, so I feel you!

i'm 18 years old. completed all but 1/9 of my pre-req's while i was still in high school through a dual enrollment program. i will be applying to the program in september for spring 2013 admission. in my school we are required to take the teas-v before we enter a class called "intro to nursing" which we have to do before or during the time we apply. i got into the class w/ a good gpa, pretty decent teas scores, if i get in i will be starting the week i turn 19, and graduating a few weeks shy of my 21st birthday (end of fall semester) :)
