Thank you for your reply it is very helpful.

I have an interview Monday for a PACU position. I have nine years icu experience. Five years of that as a travel nurse and before icu worked surgery. I am burnt out on icu and am looking for a change and would like to stay home for awhile. Anyway, what should I look for in a pacu position, what questions should I ask? Also, what is the best thing and the worst thing about pacu nursing. Thank you in advance for your responses.

I am a late bloomer and became a RN at the ripe old age of 43. I had prevoiusly worked as a OR and Anes. tech. I have spent the past 8 years working ICU as a staff nurse and as a travel nurse. I am now 51 and am considering going back to school for CRNA. I will be working for a number of years and would like to improve myself. Do you know if anyone has began CRNA school in their 50's, and what are the schools take on older students? I would appreciate your honest thoughts. Thank you in advance for your opinions...
