Enough said. Sounds good. Do it then, I just wanted to let you know that's obviously not the end all be all route. Just to share a bit more knowledge from somebody from the admissions committee at an AA school (not me)during the interview process, "You don't have to have experience in anesthesia or healthcare to become an AA. That's what our school is for, to train you to be an advanced healthcare provdier. We just want to know what you're all about and that you have made the decision to be here based on what you know about AA's and persuade us this is what you want to do. That is why we require the observation hours in our admissions process. So you have some understanding of what the title requires physically and mentally. Not to learn how to administer anesthesia or get an edge on your peers in your first year."
What you didn't state in your first response to me and your interview response to my question was your financial status. Don't be afraid to explain that to the board, this shows them you are taking responsibility and accountability for your previous debts. Use this as leverage to "control" your interview by turning negatives (i.e. debt, non-admittance this go around) into positives (hardworking, motivated).
