Program Admission Advantage?

Gee, why don't you tell us what you think, and we will take it from there.

This topic has been discussed way too many times. No, men do not have an advantage getting into nursing school. Schools base their decisions on GPAs and entrance exam scores. If you make the cut, it is because of your grades and test score, not what you have between your legs.

I agree with Don1984. You have to make the cut. I can't remember where I read it, but one school offers a blind application pool. In other words, students are given a random number, and the applications are assessed without knowing sex or the name of the student in order to ensure consistency.

I also echo the answer of there is no advantage for men. This discussion actually came up during a few different classes and each instructor mentioned there is no preference. Granted men are few and far between in nursing, but we only had 4 in my group of 23. We were also a group of second degree students. Personally, I wouldn't want an advantage if this was true. I would rather be the best candidate for a professional position or for admission into a specific program. Maybe it's my competitive personality. Obviously I can't speak for every institution, but I tend to think there are enough applications from females and males in many programs where selections are must be made.

I've done enough schooling to realize that you're just a number to the school: you present a prior GPA and a sum of money and they produce grades for you to take on to your next stage in life. By the second month of school I always have my student number memorized because that's really the only number that matters to administration and faculty. Your dick (whether you have one or not) does not figure into the entire equation. Strictly a numbers game.
