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?

in my batch of three classes composed of 140 students, more than half are males.... so you better not worry

i am a third year BSN student from san beda college in manila philippines:rotfl:

in fatima university philippines, half of the class im attending are male nursing student :)

Go for it guys! We could use a few more males in corrections nursing. I was an LPN for 24 years recently graduated from an ADN program and currently licensed as an RN in NY. I work for the NYS Dept. of Corrections, been there for 6 years. I invite you all to corrections nursing when you finish. Go GUYS!

I just found out my nursing school never recieved my High school transcript, therefore I was not screened for the class of 06..

Needless to say im pretty pissed.

Specializes in SRNA.

What a suckfest. My school was the same way -- had to call them constantly and remind them that I exist. They didn't exactly make a good impression.

So I guess I'm going to use this next year to take classes that I will need for the RN to BSN at the school I plan to get that at and maybe enroll in a BS in Healthcare Management program online.

I'm really sorry to hear that Agent. Don't give up on the dream though. In the long run the joy you will get from nursing will far outweigh this type of mishap. Keep the faith!

Just heard. What a freakin' bummer!!!

One lesson I've learned through the years though has been to keep on top of stuff that I'm really interested in. Exactly for the above reasons. Schools are so mobbed with paparwork right now it's easy to see how this could happen.

Sounds like you'll be maximizing the time in the interim. Smart choice... thinking long-term!

Good luck!

Is there another school you could try? I know my ADN program and a local BSN program are both just about to start testing for admission to their programs to start next January.

Waiting an extra year would be worth it in the long run but it really sucks right now.

I'm keeping my head up.

I know I CAN get accepted.. its just a matter of time, so why not use the time wisely and get myself setup for maximum graduate earning potential.

Specializes in Burn/Trauma ED.

Just introducing myself. I'm 25 and starting career #3. Let's hope 3rd time's a charm. ;)

I'll graduate in May 2005 and then probably move to Denver. I want to work ED (but possibly ICU) in a major hospital in an urban area.

Being single and around all these ladies would be awesome if I had time to date any of them! :rolleyes:

Oh Agent, that stinks! I'm pretty anal about calling and checking on things, and double-checking, and triple-checking. Been screwed over by busy college office folks before, so live and learn I suppose. :)

Good luck... I'm about *this far* from not getting to enroll in my nursing program this year, stupid onlien chemistry course that I don't think I'm going to pass (SO not like me). :o
