Tell me what school is like...

I think I want to be a CRNA, but I am concerned about going back to school again and being away from my two children for two and a half more years.

I am going to graduate nursing school in Dec. and I want to know if I should go back as soon as possible or if I should wait until they are older. If I wait until they areout of the house I'll be 40 when I start. That part doesn't really bother me though.

I am 27 now, so I could work some and then go to school when I'm around 31-32 and they will be about 8 and 10 years old.

I'm sure school will keep me away from them quite a bit, but will work keep me away even more?

Any input is appreciated.
