Hi Lesli61,
Where I'm at, we don't have a CRNA program. However, in our RN-BSN and MSN programs we have quite a few nurses over 50.
Age is just a number - I say GO FOR IT if that's what you want!!!!
Best of luck to you,
Nadja

i couldn't of said it better myself. don't ever let age get in the way of your dreams. on the news i saw a 94 year old lady just graduating w/ her degree. your just a kitten compared to her..
go for it..
my dad always says .. as long as your alive .. keep learning..
I just graduated from the PN program and will be 48 this month. I'm going on to get a RN degree so I'll be 50 when I get there. I've always been about 20+ years behind where I should be but at least I'm getting there....Isn't 50 the new 30? LOL
yes 50 is the new 30.. i love your thinking.. lol
Not to burst your bubble, guys, but I went to cRNA school at age 45 and guess what I sadly realized, I can't memorize as much as the younger ones!! Brace yourself, if you have a track record of getting As..just settle for Bs. That particular area discouraged me at first, but what helps is if you can focus, apply efficient study techniques and listen to Alpha state music to calm your nerves. It doesn't mean the younger ones are smarter, they just know how to memorize VERBATIM and in the world of CRNA school, that's what counts the most...Good luck !!!

I was wondering if anyone is or knows a CRNA that didn't go to anesthesia school until they were older, (like late 40's or into their 50's)? I have a masters in chemistry, and just started nursing school at age 47. I know I have the academic ability, but I worry about the stamina.
