Do I have the right experience?

I am entertaining seriously the possibility of going to CRNA school, but my research so far leads me to believe that admission to the program is becoming more and more competitive! I have 11 years of experience, the first five in a variety of areas, med-surg, ICU, ER, etc... and my last 7 years have been in Neonatal intensive care. I know nurses that have been accepted with just NICU experience, but I've been told that it is going to become harder and harder to gain acceptance with NICU experience- I value any advice or thoughts that you can offer to me, the whole admission process is a little overwhealming to me at this point! Thanks!
