    Career change at 46.......

    GuyInMarin replied to KaseyC's topic in Male Nursing Students

    You were already in healthcare as an EMT. My change is from IT as software engineer. It's a significant drop in salary and more physically demanding work. It is a very hard decision for me and I am...

    GuyInMarin replied to StudentBlue's topic in School, College Programs

    The one thing I will say is I don't knwo your background but for me an ABSN would make more sense to do as getting the experience from working would be everything. I am a career changer that does not...

    I am sure during tomorrow's Next Steps zoom call (which I am assuming you are attending) you can ask all of those questions. The person running it (MODERATOR EDIT OF NAME - PLEASE DO NOT POST...

    Career change at 46.......

    GuyInMarin replied to KaseyC's topic in Male Nursing Students

    And the last point you made about helping people .. well, that is the real reason I want to go into nursing. I ALWAYS wanted to help people in some way, which is why I was pre-med and have a degree in...

    Career change at 46.......

    GuyInMarin replied to KaseyC's topic in Male Nursing Students

    GuyInMarin replied to KaseyC's topic in Male Nursing Students

    That is amazing, glad it worked out so well fo you. I feel pretty good about how I will do as I am a very roll your sleeves up type of person, and not to be cocky, very adaptable and intelligent. Even...

    Career change at 46.......

    GuyInMarin replied to KaseyC's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Do you think it actually *helps* you to be male? I would think it would, at least in the beginning since only 12% of nurses are male in the US. In terms of advancement, I htink it could definitely...

    GuyInMarin replied to KaseyC's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I am 52 and about to do an ABSN starting this Summer. I am a career changer, still not sure if this is the right choice but I love the thoughts of connecting with people in a meaningful way job-wise....

    GuyInMarin replied to StudentBlue's topic in School, College Programs

    I was notified of admission probably the same exact time everyone else was (we all got emailed the same time). I submitted right before the deadline, so I don't think that had anything to do with it....

    I have no doubt about SMU's reputation. I do think that what seems to matter these days is experience. Although there is no preceptorship, maybe the clinicals are what we can try to bank on to network...

    I am making a career change so I do not have healthcare work experience. What I did not know was how competitive the nursing field was in the Bay Area. I have been reading some posts about SMU and was...
