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?

Dude welcome to the minority. In my class there are eight males in a class of 80.

Hey, Just saying Hi. This is my first post here (i think). I'm just starting my first semester of pre-reqs here, having fun already, but the atmosphere (spent the last 9 months in construction) will take some getting used to :-p. I'm really glad this board is here. Looking forward to getting to know you guys.

Hey fellas. I'm a 26 yr old in my 2nd semester of a 4 semester accel BSN program in Northern VA. So far I've completed Psych rotations and am now doing 2 Med/Surg rotations this semester. Summer will be Peds/OB and Med/surg 3. Fall will be community and externship. I'm looking at either peds/ob for career. Not a big Med/Surg fan. I am enjoying it but it can get frustrating at times. Luckily I have a mix of progressive and "old school" nursing instructors which is good. I heard some horror stories about nurses eating their young. That hasn't happened yet at school.

If anyone has info on who has the best loan repayment programs (state or hospital) let me know. I took some to pay for this program and am willing to work ANYWHERE!!!

Hi all, I'm a 2nd semester BSN stud at the University of Southern MS. Three guys in a class of 30. This is sort of my 2nd career (I'm a furloughed American Airlines pilot). So far, so good, though it's taken some getting used to. Really the only time I've felt out of place is in Labor & Delivery, where the ladies were frankly a little nonplussed to have me around.

I joined the forums because my "Mother/Baby" project this semester is the internet and how useful/not-useful it is for student nurses. I'm glad I found this site, though; I think I'll be here way past when my project is complete!

Hey ya'll I'm a third semester student at Hinds Community College A.D.N RN program in Jackson, Mississippi. I'm 20 years old and ready to get done and get out. I'm so sick of studying, but I love that I chose to become a nurse. I plan to get my CRNA one day, or RN-first assistant. What about ya'll? Anyway i just found this site like 2 days ago and its nice to see that people in other programs are having the same troubles as me. Everyone keep up the good work and good luck, and hopefully it will come to end even though it seems like it's taking forever to graduate.

ARRRGHHH ARRGHHHH (thats my tim the toolman grunt)!!! How are you gentlemen?!!? I think it's great seeing so many guys breaking stereotypes and gender roles and joining this awesome profession!!! It really does take a special person (let alone man) to do this...

So... has anyone heard the barrage of "hey Focker!!" jokes? Though seen as a put down, I think it glorifed the role of males in nursing, and I commend Ben Stiller for doing that role!!

Good luck gentlemen!!!

ps. :nurse:
