Without a mentor or another recruiter in the area, I believe him. Today at BOLC I learned I have to wait 5 years before I can apply to school. Is this true? Can they lie to you that much? Do I have to wait 5 years before I can apply to crna school? 2020-09-08T19:42:22-04:00 1LT Private RallyPoint Member 6292639 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I was told by my recruiter that if I commissioned as a critical care nurse that I would have a leg up on other applicants, and that I could apply after about a year of active duty.
