Thanks Spode.

That is SSSSOOOOOO true!! Thank you very much for your words of encouragement. You have truly inspired me. Thanks a MILLION!!!

This is, by far, the best news I've heard all day. Or rather all year. Or rather all my life!!! So there IS hope for me!!!!! Thank you TraumaSICU!!!!!!!!!!

They have asked me to repeat General Chemistry I & II, Organic Chemistry I & II, A & P I & II, possibly biochemistry and microbiology, all of which I took in the early 90's. I actually have no problem re-taking these classes since my grades in the sciences were mediocre all those years ago. I feel that it will make my application more competitive. My concern is my age when I finish and apply. Nursing is my 2nd degree. My 1st degree was in Psychology, with a 3.0GPA. My nursing school GPA was 3.81, BSN. When I finish all science classes, I may be 45-46 years old and was wondering if any SRNA students have people this age in their class. Thanks for the reply. I really do appreciate it.

I am an ICU nurse of 13 years who is interested in becoming a CRNA. I was suppose to pursue this 11 years ago but got sidetracked by life, i.e., making good money ($90,000-$100,000/year), marriage, and a baby (who is now 21 months old). I decided to revisit my dream and recently had an interview. The panel informed me that I need to repeat ALL science classes, since they are greater than 5 years old. I am currently 42 years old. I am worried that by the time I repeat General Chemistry I & II, Organic Chemistry I & II, Physics I & II, Anatomy & Physiology I & II, Biochemistry, and possibly some math class (if required, not sure), I WILL BE 46 YEARS OLD!! OR OLDER!! I am very concerned that I will be too old to go to CRNA school and was wondering if there is anyone in your class 46 years old or greater.
