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?

Not sure when alias is coming out probably september. I could look it up ;)

edit>> it doesnt say on abc's site..

Thanks for the welcome, Todd. Yeah, I finished A&P I and II this summer and thought I'd pull all my gray hair out, which would pretty much make me bald! The last 2 weeks were the toughest and I blew my A on the last 2 lecture exams. But, oh well, I feel blessed to have gotten what I got.

I hope Micro is okay this fall. I've heard mixed reviews. How'd you fair in it this summer?

I didn't think micro was all that difficult, conceptually speaking. The problem was that it was a ton of information crammed into a very short period of time. I think it would have been much easier if had been a regular semester instead of a shortened summer session. If you did that well while taking both A&P's, then you should do fine with micro this fall. Good luck!

Okay guys,

I need more people to sign up for the football pickem league at Yahoo. I KNOW there should be some football fans perusing this thread, so lets have a little fun in between classes this semester and see how good you are at picking winners. If interested , check out the details I posted in the original thread:

When I went to nursing school - back when Flo was teaching - there were 3 men in a class of 110. All of us were older students, starting on a second careers. Men still only comprise about 5-7 percent of all nurses. We need to encourage more men to join the profession!

Hospitals are also warm in winter and cool in the summer unlike some of the shops I've worked in.
