I am in the process of getting through a year of critical care experience. I am going to be applying to CRNA school in the near future but have a question maybe some of you with experince could help me out with. The first "problem" that i have is I notice some schools have a pre req requirment with respect to the sciences. It is not this that I have a problem with, as I have taken organic I and II and general I and II. The issue is that some schools state that the courses need to be completed in the last 10 years as I am quickly approaching that point. My question to you is, assuming anyone would know, is this a standard requirement at most CRNA schools? I really dont feel like jerking around in an organic chemistry lab all over again inhaling benzene etc, i kind of feel like i am beyond that at this point in my life, i have already done it so why should i have to do it all over again? If there are some CRNA schools with less strict standards with respect to there pre req admissions I would be interested to know. Again, i have taken Organic I and II in addition to Microbiology and general chem I and II, but by the time i hit the application process I think its going to be > than 10 years.
