Guys .. I'm a nurse who stepped away to industry for exactly 20 years. Prior to leaving I was a highly motivated RN, ACLS Instructor, started and managed a specialty cardiac dept., etc. I'm now considering transitioning back to nursing and wondering if CRNA is a viable goal for a returning nurse in One's early 50's. By the time my skill set is refreshed and I reclaim currency within the Unit and become a true applicant I would be in the range of 54, 55 y/o. From a personal perspective, I am a fmr. US Marine and have been a cardiac device sales Rep for 17 yrs. I'm highly motivated and have zero question in my abilities or dynamics. However; my concerns center around acceptance committees of programs and whether or not a candidate would be considered truly competitive nearing their mid-fifties. I would be extremely grateful to any and all commentary and if anyone could share age demographics of your programs, or where I should pursue that type of data. Thanks so much ..
