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?
My boyfriend is 46 y/o and will be 47 y/o when he finishes his LPN course. In his class of 24, there are 2 other guys. One is in his mid-30's, and the other is maybe 40. This will be a third career for him - he was a bricklayer for 23 years and was in the Army before that. He plans on doing a LPN-BSN program while working as a LPN.
I will have to leave working on a boat on the great barrier reef for a classroom in Denver... I hope I'm making the right decision.....
Well the view out the window is not going to be as beautiful....but something made you decide to become a nurse, remember what those reasons are if you start to doubt your decision.
