We had Nursing orientation today and I had my first opportunity to meet my fellow students. It turns out there are only 3 men including me in our class of 45. How many men are in your cohort?

RLtinker, LPN 282 Posts Aug 15, 2013 We actually were jumbled up a couple of times so my count maybe off, but I believe out of 60 RNs and 60 LPNs there were 6 or us total. And I believe two of them never finished.
akulahawkRN, ADN, RN, EMT-P 3,494 Posts Specializes in Emergency Department. Has 8 years experience. Aug 15, 2013 My current cohort has 9 males out of 44 total. My previous cohort had 6 out of 32. Right now, we're a little "heavy" compared to what we usually get as far as males in the classes. A "typical" cohort has 33 students, about 4 of which are males at my school.
ArrowRN, BSN, RN 5 Articles; 1,146 Posts Specializes in Med Surg, PCU, Travel. Has 9 years experience. Aug 15, 2013 7 out of 39...the seniors ahead of us also had 7 men in about 32. Before I applied to nursing school, I called ahead and asked the school how many men are usually in a class. Normally a good indicator thats it's a "male friendly" program.
