Ya there are only a couple guys out of my class of 40. Seriously though, you can't knock the guy to girl ratio! Pretty dang good odds! Of course most of the women are older so as long as you aren't picky....

Another Father of two (and husband of ONE)..

I start nursing school in September while working full time.. I have been accepted into the Nursing Program, and am just waiting to be confirmed into the evening program... I have a BS in Accounting, and after I get my RN, I expect to continue for a masters..

With the best of luck, I will get into the accelerated program in May of 07. Stop work, go into debt and study up a storm.. The wife is a trooper and the "kids are alright".

hello every one. i am glad that i will start the nursing program this fall. it was not easy to get in to the program here in ncc in ny, but i made it.

we should support each other and i am sure soon a lot of men will join the male nursing club. i am 30 years old. i work full time and go to college full time. i was able to keep my gpa 4.00 even if it was hard. i believe if you really want to do something and you have both the will power and the means you will succed and make you dream comes true .

good luck for you all male

Hello all,

So far, this forum is really enlightening and entertaining. I look forward to becoming a contributing member! I am a new student RN and yep, I'm a guy......a rarity that seems to be becoming more common in this profession. Anyway, Pharmocology is killing me so I'd better go study now......:)

-Greetz, Brad

Hi everyone. I am a 31 y.o. male in an ASN RN program here in Connecticut. In a class of (once 120 now..) 80ish students, I am 1 of 4 male students. I'm almost done with my 1st year. I;m just finishing up my summer session of Ortho/Neuro (lovin' neuro so far). It's been a tough go so far (father of 1 soon to be 2 - and husband as well) I work 16 hours at one the Conn. Hospitals here on the Cardiac Telemetry floor as a CNA and a Telemetry tech.

What do you all do to pass time and relax when you have a few minutes to spare? I'm a poker guy myself; as well as web design too. Love to just sit at the online tables for 30 minutes after studying to just clear my head a bit. Talk to you all soon.

Hi fellas I am a 33 year old nursing student in AL. I am the last one in my class we started with 5 and now i am the last man standing. I have one year left to finish my degree. I dont forsee any more men entering our program in the near future. school is stressful and to combat the stress i got into flying rc nitro airplanes. That is a relaxing and theraputic experience if it wasnt for that i might have lost my mind by now. Its tough being married and surrounded by all those women my wife is having a hissy fit but who cares anyone know how to combat the accusations of a crazed spouse except for firing her? lol:angryfire
