I apologize for the typo. It should have read: wow, that's cool. What city do you live in? I would appreciate us keeping in touch!

Wow, that is really cool. What are do you love in? I would appreciate us keeping in touch!

Thank you for your follow up. However, I did read some things that said you get a Masters in Nurse Practitioner on Psychiatry. Nonetheless , I do appreciate your follow up.

I am just starting to take my pre requisite courses after being in the legal profession for 17 years. I am a 45 yr old male whose goal is to become a psychiatric nurse. I'm very excited about my journey!

I am a 45 yr old male who has been in the legal field for 17 years. I have decided to return to school and become a Psychiatric Nurse. At 45 this journey is just beginning and I am very excited. Hopefully, I will get through my prerequisites with a bit of ease and then get my BSN before getting my Masters in Psychiatric Nursing.

I am curious as to how many men get their LPN then go on to get the BSN? I have no interest in the LPN but it appears that my situation is one that would require me to get The LPN first and then get The BSN. I'm hoping to do that in 2 - 3 years because I want to get my Masters in Psychiatric Nursing. Anyone has any insight that they would like to share on the issue?

Congratulations. What nursing school are you attending and which degree will you be getting?

You are correct. I would have to go to nursing school before I can go to get my Masters in Pychiatric Nursing. So, my intended audience would be both Nurses in general and Psychiatric Nurses more specifically. I do appreciate you stopping by and responding to my post.

I am just preparing to start nursing school after being in the legal field for 17 years. My interest is in becoming a psychiatric nurse practitioner so I'm looking forward to reading about the experiences of other male nurses.

I am a 45 year old man who has been in the legal field for 17 years. After experiencing the great number of individuals who have challenges in life, and how those challenges leave them stuck in hurt, pain and mental anguish, I realized that Mental Health Nursing could be the career for me. Thus, I'm embarking on a career as a Mental Health Psychiatric Nurse. I'm excited, looking forward to the process and I believe I will achieve my goal. I always research any interest that I have so during my research of careers in psychiatric nursing, I came upon this site. I would love to hear from other male nurses and/or male nurses who started the career late in life.
