Answer 1

Your best bet is to look into becoming a CNA (nursing assistant) then a LPN which is a 1 year program at a vocational college. However, you WILL need whatever pre-reqs the LPN program requires and you WILL need to pass the national exam. You will need to take control of your life.

Answer 2

Of course you can, but I am a male and I am in nursing school Considering you have a 2.06 GPA, that needs to come WAY up. Nursing school is competitive to get into, and once your in, it takes a lot of hard work to pass. Another thing; if you want to become a nurse, you need to go to college. There is no other way you can become one. If finances are a problem, you can get grants, loans, and all sorts of financial aid. You need to study every night and and work hard. Get good grades and stay focused. Nursing is a great profession for males.

Answer 3

You don't want to. There are still female nurses bearing the painful emotional scars of the first male nurses getting paid more than their female contemporaries, and they will take it out on you. Many female patients don't want a male to perform certain tasks, and this will earn you the resentment of the females who have to do extra work because your patients are shy. Also, tasks that are "good nursing" when a female does them, like comforting a crying elderly adult or catheterizing a patient with a physician's order, are the work of a pervert when a male does them. You'd do better as an EMT, PA, or a medic in the military.
