Hi All!
I'm a crazy father of 2 ex-premed who just recently turned down Northwestern to go into a RN program.
I already have an Associate in Science, but I'll be getting another ADN and then go to a 4 yr school.
When I went to an info session about the RN program ill be trying to get into, out of like 70 ppl only 5 were guys.
So I want to know are there any men out there?

here's another. senior at university of tx @ arlington!! i know what you mean agent- when we started last fall out of ~100 there were 10 guys, now due to some of them failing classes we are down to like 5 or 6 now.
Glad to see you guys.
I think it will be slightly to my advantage to be the only guys amongst a bunch of women, but im also slightly scared by it.
Being a single guy, I guess I'll just have to deal with it

I'm a male ADN student. I'll be starting in 2 weeks at San Jacinto College in Houston.
Being the rare guy isn't that big of a deal. When I got my Vet Tech degree (vet equivalent of an ADN) I was the only male in a graduating class of 28. From what I saw in orientation, it looks like men will be mopre common this time around.

I'm a single 35 year old guy going into my second year of a 4 year program at the University of New Brunswick. I am one of about 10 students out of a class of 90 or so. I'm told that's the highest percentage of guys they've ever had in a class.

I'm 32 year old male with a degree in Industrial Engineering. I decided to change feilds due to the unstable manufacturing feild. Plus the federal government is paying for all my school since my plant closed due to off shore competition. I have to have Job security. I just got accepted a month ago. I am not sure how many males will be in our class. We had over 600 applications and they only accepted 70 people. Good luck to everyone.
