How old were you when you began?

I will be 35 when I take NCLEX. After that I will finish BSN and attempt to gain ICU experience as soon as I can. I hope to apply to CRNA school by age 40. My kids would be 9 and 10 by then. How old were you when you applied?

Congrats on your second career, it's mine as well. I'm looking to know how old people were when they applied to CRNA school.
