How many guys in your class?

[Scrubz]

There's 28 total people in my class and two of us are guys and it's an ADN program. I'm 20 years old and the other guy is in his mid 40's. The school I go to is 100 years old and this is our nursing program's first year, and I've got a decent shot at being the first and only guy to graduate from the first class, if you catch my drift . Since I'm younger I kind of take a "brother" role to a lot of the girls in there, and I'm the one to make everyone laugh... My class is pretty cool because it's so small we're closer to one another.. A lot of us anyway.

Anyone else have any stories?

To answer your question about dropping, it is because schools do a very bad job of selecting good students. The drop rate in my program is nil because the faculty don't "weed out" people once the program started. They already weeded out everyone and got the cream of the crop. They only accepted 40 out of over 400 applications-- and you had to have GREs and have taken a research methods course.

My cohort has 40 and 5 males.

2 out of 27. I wish I had done this when I was 18........someplace near a beach.

I'm in an LPN program of 69 students, 6 of us are guys--5 of which are over 40. We are half way thru and didn't lose any of us guys yet.

There is one dude in my class of 20

[Murseintraining78]

there are about 55 students in my class and I am one of two in there. We had a third but he hasn't been on the class list so can't think of anything else but that he dropped.

We have 70 students in my Level 1 class and 11 are male. I was shocked at the ratio, but it is great to see this many males entering the field. Some joke about the increase in the "XY factor". I don't have a preference, but it is still good to see.

we have 28 total in our class with 8 males.

56 in the class, 8 being men, average age if I had to guess (I KNOW two are very early 20's the remaining ones look/act to be early/mid 30's) I think the average age is early 30's.

We have 7 in a class of 39.
