Hi Everyone, I have been a nurse for six years and have always wanted to use it as a stepping stone to study medicine. However, throughout the years marriage and family came into view, and, of course, my dream of studying medicine was placed on the back burner and to add I'm 30 years old! Now that I am in college doing my BSN, I am now thinking of doing the necessary pre-med courses to give it a go, but was very much put down by my nursing advisor. I told her of my plans to go into medicine and she threw a fit at me for wanting to jump the fence! She said she thought it best for me to aim for the nurse practitioner instead, and that she thought too that I may not be able to study medicine as I needed to bring up my grades! Now that I'm thoroughly put off by this woman's advice/attitude, I was wondering if anyone can tell me if there are any nurses out there who have actually made the jump? Also, is the nurse practitioner option a better choice? If anyone has any websites they can direct me to for advice I'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance for replies.

Dear Sir, I have been in nursing for about six years and have been toying with the idea of going into nurse anesthesia as I've worked in ICU's before, though on an on-off basis. Now I am in psychiatric nursing and know that if I want to become a CRNA I must return to the ICU area to get the experience which I know is one year. My question is would the nurse anesthesia school take me with just one year's experience over someone else with let's say four to five years experience? Would the one year experience be enough to make it?
