Hi All!

I'm a crazy father of 2 ex-premed who just recently turned down Northwestern to go into a RN program.

I already have an Associate in Science, but I'll be getting another ADN and then go to a 4 yr school.

When I went to an info session about the RN program ill be trying to get into, out of like 70 ppl only 5 were guys.

So I want to know are there any men out there?

It's an amazing feeling when you've worked so hard to get through the pre-reqs, make the house payment, stay active in your education. That acceptance letter felt like gold.

Good luck to all! I am getting ready to start my second semester tomorrow in an Accelerated BSN program. It is tough.....very different from my first BS degree in chemistry. Just don't read too much into the questions but then again, don't leave anything out.....it's a catch 22. NOT looking forward to second semester with Pharmacology, Ethics and Med-Surg.....way too much to do in one summer in my opinion, but I did sign up for it.....
