The Guys Club: Guy Students Come on In!

Published

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?

Specializes in Oncology Certified Nurse (OCN).

About 15% of the students in nursing school with me are guys. So I don't expect you'll be all alone.

And if you're single and straight? You'll def be Mr. Popular with female nursing students. :lol2:

Hello all! Starting the ADN program at Collin County Community College next month and wanted to check in here and introduce myself. Father of 2 (21 mo daughter, 1 mo son), married for 7 years, and I've worked in the IT industry for the last decade. Been laid off a few too many times in that busy so I decided to try and move into healthcare, which is the field I wanted to work in back before I started college (was seduced by the relatively high pay in the IT world in the late 90's).

10 viewing on this board versus @300 on "general" and "assistance". But I do lurk here, so I figured I'd post up in this thread for the other 9 who are here. :)

Anyone have experience doing an RN-BSN while working? I have a B.S. already but it will only cost~$10k to do ADN (+ another $10k for an online RN-BSN) compared to ~$35k for an Accelerated BSN. I'm concerned about BSNs getting selected over ADNs with so many new grads to choose from.

Specializes in RN.

Almost done, 1 semester after this one! I just transferred into the faster track at my college. In the former track i was one of 2 guys, in the present track I am 1 of 5 guys. My clinical group is 4 guys 4 females!!! I don't mind being with all the females at all. However, it is nice to have more guys so that I can hang with them and opt out of the "female" type conversations that do get old.

One word..."HOW?"

Must be some carry-over of knowledge from being a paramedic and firefighter...?

What do you mean by full time employment? If I may ask :-)

Nice job by the way!!
