Do you think its easy for men to get accepted into nursing school, because there is a shortage of male nurses


Or no......

I think it will depend upon your entrance exam scores as well as your cumulative GPA, just like a woman. There is no easy way of getting into nursing school

yes i know alot of male nurses

No. Men are encouraged to apply as there is a shortage, but they won't necessarily take on a man just because he has applied. Student nurses are all considered on equal merit, whether male, female, black, white etc.

I don't think they discriminate based on gender. I think you probably face the same standards as female. Discimination based on gender is illegal in employment and education.

no - it doesn't matter what gender you are - a shortage of NURSES is a shortage of NURSES (male or female) - go for it (and learn how to write well; you'll need that skill for the numerous reports you'll be required to do!)

whether or not you get accepted to nursing school has nothing to do with your gender...

and yes... there is a shortage of nurses... male and female...

there is a shortage of nurses, period! I think as long as you meet the needed criteria, you should have no problem.

No, there is, however, nationwide a shortage of nurses at all levels so a competent, caring individual will find no trouble getting accepted or even getting a 'scholarship' from a hospital for his or her nursing schooling. Gender is insignificant when it comes to putting aside your queasiness and wiping up someone's crap or vomit; or when a quick wise decision can save a life.

One big advantage most men have over most women is that male nurses tend to be much more muscular and can handle the necessary lifting, etc. far more easily. Good luck.

It doesn't matter the sex, what matters is the grades, and qualifications.

There are a shortage of nurses, period.

Getting into nursing school depends upon your acedemic qualifications, not your gender.

This question is really irrelevant. I don't believe there is a nursing school out there who accepts prospective nursing students based on gender. It's first come, first serve or who ever has their prerequisites done first. Also, being a male does not hinder that person from being accepted into nursing school.
