Nodean · Dec 13, 2006

Hello Gentlemen,

New to the club... 40 years young, paramedic for eight years, firefighter for the last three. I hung it all up to begin an entry level masters family nurse practitioner program starting in a month.

Me too! 37 years young. 16 years as a Medic. Got my RN License back in January (BSN Program - 5 guys, 3 gals). Spent a few months in the ER. Have now been in the OR since June. It's great. Good luck to all.

Just finished and sat state finals three weeks ago for registration as an RN (hear back in one week). There were five guys out of 60 sitting in my class, which sounds about the norm.

Howdy,

48 y/o 2nd semester ADN student. 4 males in 30 students at local CC. I've already been courted by male recruiter to come to hospital after 2nd semester for nursetech position. Lot of male RN's on the MedSurg floor during our clinicals. It seems like the average of 5% males at community hospital is low. I think they are actively looking for male RN's.

I have been a RN in Texas for 12 years. When I went to school, there were only 6 males to 44 females. Hang in there guys.

Hi Rodge,

I am a male registered nurse from The Netherlands. I am a nurse since 1984. I once have begun nursing with mentally disabled patients, then a few years later I worked at a psychiatric hospital and at a nursing home for the elderly people. Since 2003 I am a nurse at the surgery-unit of a hospital. What kind of nursing do you like?

Greets,

I'm a male nursing major at the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire. There's 4 other guys in the program. The College of Nursing and Health Science told us that this was EC's biggest male nursing class in it's history. Since all my generals are with mostly women, all my nursing classes are with women, and everyone I study with are women I really feel so much more connected to women than I ever did before. I have a ton of friends, but as far as guy friends, i could probably count them on 2 hands. Since i am single, I don't mind in the least being the only guy. Even if i wasn't single i wouldn't mind b/c i've just gotten used to it after awhile. In one pre-nursing class i took, out of 35-40 people, i was the only guy. And this didn't even bother me one bit!!
