Just a few questions from a student...

Published

Hey guys,

I am a high school student and I have a few questions...

I am a guy, and I'm wondering... would it be wierd if I was a nurse? Would it be any harder to find a job since I am a guy?

How hard is it to get into an associate nursing program since many apply and only a few get in? I have a 3.8ish GPA.

How hard would it be to get a job as a new grad RN from an associate program?

Any tips or pointers becuase I am a determined individual and I would really want to get into the medical field.

Thanks,

Caleb

It's not weird at all. We had quite a few guys in my graduating class and they all did really well. One nice thing about being a guy is you can get minority scholarships, because a male nursing student is considered a minority. Check it out!
