Hi,

I was 46 when I started anesthesia school. It has been difficult path with previous debt, family, and diminished recall. Despite those issues, I am glad I decided to do it. Most of my classmates are mid twenties to late thirties.

Good. That gives me hope. By the time I am done with my BSN and have two years experience in ICU, I will 37 1/2 or 38.

I will be 45 on Tuesday (Happy Birthday to me!) and am in the process of applying for June 2010 when I will be 46!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I finally realized that I was getting too old to put it off any longer.

I'm applying this fall, but I'm only 24. I wonder if this is too young?

Yes I am unfortunately. I graduate in 2 years, and I hope I can get at least one year of ICU experience before I turn 30 so that I may apply
