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?

Thank you for your kind post

59 credit hours total.

You have to already have a 4 year degree from another university to be eligible.

Hope that gives you enough information.

Well, I guess I'm another of the "few, the proud, the male" soon to be entering school. Am i crazy to be doing this at 32? who knows, but i look forward to the challenges.

No no. You are perfectly sane. Now, if you were to be 33 and doing this you would be completely insane like me.

Are you crazy? Probably, but thats a benefit in nursing LOL. And no, its never to late to start. I'm 29 and was one of the "younger" students in my class of 60. Good luck to you and welcome aboard!!!
