Retirement Age

At what age do most CRNA's retire? Is it realistic to expect to practice into your late 60's or is the job more than most at that age can handle? I am asking because I am at 42 y/o career changer getting a BSN with the intention of pursuing a CRNA. Wondering if the amount of time I would have to practice will support the amount of debt I will incur. I would be 48 by the time I would be done with school.

you will still be a spring chicken--most CRNA's are older anyway--focus on your passion and not the age factor--since when do you have to be a certain age for retirement standards?? best to you, hty/

There's a will-be grandpa on this board who just got accepted to school!

Retire--you've got to be kidding. What would I do? I am 65 and still love doing anesthesia every day, although I got a little tired last week when I had a 6 day week. As long as there is a shortage of anesthesia providers, as long as there is work, as long as I can continue to do safe anesthesia, I will continue. This is a profession not a job, so go for it, no matter what your age.
