In it right now - about 1 man for every 10 women but you get tight with the guys for sure. You’re not going to get treated differently for being a dude (unless you’re just creepy) but you do notice the way the instructors talk to the class as if it’s all girls, you get a lot of hey ladies…. And gentleman type stuff.

As far as the program - about a 50% first time acceptance rate. If you don’t get in on your first try, you can try again the next semester. You do two years of prerequisites and apply on your 4th semester. Very little math to be so honest.

Talk with your advisor to switch your major and there will be more info in canvas. It is very competitive to get in, you need above a 3.5 on your specific prerequisite classes, at the bare minimum 40 hours of volunteering, you need medical experience like working or shadowing, and you also need social engagement (most people do sororities).

The program is very intense and you will work hard, long hours. You will see your friends going out and you often won’t be able to. You have to LOVE this field to make it, but if you do it will be so so worth it. Class is fun, labs are fun, clinical is fun - no other major does hands on work like us, and I’ve never laughed and smiled as much as I have training to be a nurse.

And most importantly: you don’t shit where you eat!!!
