See? Self congratulating. Lol.

I'm 42 and a recent ADN grad from a school that accepts 10% of applicants. I passed NCLEX on first try with 75 questions. I found nursing school to be very challenging. I also find that many people in every walk of life are a little too self congratulating for my taste... That's just people, who cares? Not me. Smile and accept each other. 😎😎 None of you want to be concrete finishers!! Haha!! (My first profession)

Thanks again.

I was just searching for some info on atlas medstaff and all I found was your question....so, how's it going?

The OP has a legitimate question, since male nurses are about nine percent of the population. That low number asks ,"Why do men not choose this noble profession?" The answer can't be the dismissive "men just choose not to". Part of the answer may be social stereotyping. Part may be the public expectation of gender that can be seen as female pronouns in textbooks (Her, she). I only read one response to the question where the respondent cited any experience that merited a response.... Minority male status=1 extra point. There are organizations dedicated to sole idea of recruiting men to a profession that may be better served by a more equal work force. Good luck sir.

I'm almost through my first of four semesters in an ADN program. We have 4/31 ratio male/female.
