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?
I'm 26. Just started my RN program yesterday and luckily my incoming class has 11 males out of 48 students. All the professors seem to be shocked and excited about this lol.
20 years young and just started the ADN program a few days after my birthday! I am pretty sure I am the youngest in my class of 64 and there is probably about 8 guys.
I'll be starting an ADN program in the spring, which means two summers will go by. I'm 38 now, so I guess I'll be 40 when we graduate. That's plenty of time for a second career!
