Nursing Students SRNA
Published Oct 9, 2011
Hey guys, Just wondering what you all perceive to the average age of SRNA at your schools. I'm 27 and started in the ICU 3 months ago, so prob won't be in school for CRNA until i'm 30? If i get in :)

I'm the youngest in my class. I'm 25 and I graduate September 2013 at an advanced age of 27.haha
Graduated from college at 21 and worked in a medical ICU for 4 years before CRNA school.

I will be starting school in August 2012 at the age of 27, and finish right before my 30th birthday. At least I will still be 29 when I graduate! :)

My program ranges from 24-48 years old. I started at age 32. Average age in my program is probably upper 20s.

It's encouraging to hear of younger people in crna programs. I'm 23 now and have two more months until I can transfer to our icu (I work at a level one trauma hospital). Every time I mention my goals all my coworkers say I'm too young and I should work for a few more years before I consider applying.... so now I keep my mouth shut lol.

I am 26 and will be studying for an accelerated BSN starting in May, and I am interested in becoming a CRNA. Is it wise to go straight into the ICU after graduation or would it be better to work on a floor first?

25 is the youngest I've every met. I was 26 when I was accepted and going into my second year now. I am the youngest one in my program. mostly everyone is 28-35 and a few 30 yo's.
I dont know how someone who is 22 could even have the appropriate experience.
what is that:
graduate at 17
ADN: done at 19 then work in an icu directly out of school while getting your bachelors for 2 years?
21 years old and apply?
