Have made up my mind. Either want to get my Associates or Bachelors in nursing. Leaning towards my BSN. I'd like to go to University of Hawaii or Portland State for it. Assuming I can get in. Plus I'll be doing Air Force ROTC most likely.



For the BSN would I be able to just jump into it as a Junior? I thought it was a 4 year program, regardless of prior education. I'm only something like 6-10 units from my Associates or so. Originally I was going to get my ADN RN and doing that would have finished my associates with the pre-reqs. But now I'm leaning towards the BSN so I don't quite have my associates but I'm really close.

Portland State - I'm assuming in Oregon? As far as I know PSU doesn't have a nursing program. There are a few others in the city, though (Linfield, OHSU, Portland Community College)

Sorry, realized they only offer the pre-reqs to get into a BSN program.

Uh... you mean like all universities and most community colleges do I guess? I'm pretty sure they don't have a pre-nursing submajor but I might be wrong.

Personally, I prefer refer to them as "man nurses," and "woman doctors."

No you dork, nursing has always been a female-dominated field. Although there are a lot more male nurses today than there have been in the past, it's still a profession largely held by women and many people continue to see it as a female role and assume if you say "X is a nurse" that X is also a woman.
