Beemer. I have yet to start nursing school. In a past life I was an EMT-1 in San Diego county, I worked in a psyche hospital as a Psyche tech for 18 months whilst at Fire school, I worked as a mobile tech for a mobile physcian in CA. Lastly i'm a phlebotomist as well. I suppose as I am getting older if the crooks want a foot pursuit i'll be OK over 10k, but the sprint has left these old legs. I am a dual role Crash Rescue Firefighter / police officer so when into my 60's in 20 I don't want to keep jumping in and out of fire trucks all day long. The biggest reason of all is I enjoyed the work with patients, and found the life on the wards appealing. I found it humerous when the Doc's threw theirtoysfrom their cribs, mainly because they failed to get something done and felt it totally necessary to share their ****** off day with others. So in a nut shell Jan 09 is the Lvn/lpn startdate. So i'm trying to find grant scholarship options out there. Better review my previous as I would not wish to appear that as a male I am looking for preferential treatment atnursing school or getting funding simply to get in. Where were / are you a Police Officer? Are you still with a force whilst at school? What state are you in? Any prior med' background? Speak again soon

Hello all. Got accepted for Jan 09 LPN course in Eldon MO. I was wondering is there anyone out there giving out scholarships / grants specifically for Male nursing students. If not any good sources for grants / scholarships that anyone can recommend. I'm a Police officer/ARFF firefighter looking to change career, nursing a good move or a bad one? Any one had much success with the international scene for travel/ contract nursing? Good to be here. Nomad :chuckle
