UNEQUIVOCAL DISCLAIMER: This following is made with the intent of sharing information. IT IS NOT INTENDED TO DISPARAGE ANY OCCUPATION OR THEIR PRACTITIONERS.

1) Many members consistently inquire whether their experience in caregiving, as a dental assistant, as a VIRTUAL medical assistant, as a midwife, as a nanny, etc., – including those with almost one decade in those jobs – automatically qualifies them to a BS Nursing accreditation course.

2) Unfortunately, they will usually meet – and have met with – disappointment when seeking ETEEAP accreditation of their experience. The notable exception being Registered Midwives who have completed a four-year “traditional” course and are already Board-certified professionals.

3) Whereas the other occupations do not necessarily require extensive training or a high school diploma for that matter to qualify as such: caregiving can be learned in around three months, a dental assistant in around the same time as a caregiver, a nanny has knowledge enhanced through short trainings, and I could label myself as a Virtual Medical Assistant (VMA) in 20 hours.

4) An important consideration is that nursing demands HANDS-ON contact with patients, which the other occupations – again, with the noteworthy exception of midwifery – do not give the same level of practical experience as nursing. For example, dental assistants hardly have personal contact with dental patients while VMAs work on computers without even seeing their patients.

5) And perhaps the most important consideration is that universities will scrutinize whether a BS Nursing aspirant has extensive and hard-core experience and exposure, vis-à-vis the Nursing Blue Book, aka Related Learning Experiences (RLE). They will be looking into HOW MANY areas including but not limited to those listed below, and FOR HOW LONG the applicant has had experience in.

NOTE: Experience in only one or a few of these areas is therefore not adequate:

• Aesthetic/ Cosmetic nursing
• Battlefield/ makeshift hospitals nursing
• Cancer cases
• Community service
• Dental nursing
• Emergency response/emergency room duty
• Geriatric care
• Hospice duty (patients awaiting death)
• Industrial nursing – including advising on safety practices
• Mentally ill patients nursing
• Multi-bed ward duty
• Neonatal/ postnatal care
• Operating theater duty
• Orthopedic nursing
• Outpatient department clinic duty
• Palliative care
• Private duty (home or hospital)
• Professional sports team nursing
• Promotion of good health and safety practices
• Trauma cases such as fire, gunshots, mass casualty incidents, vehicular accidents
• Travel escort (e.g., medevac)
• Triage
• Etc.

6) Based on the above information, BS Nursing aspirants could do a self-assessment of their chances of admission as a BSN student via ETEEAP. Or, they might decide to enroll in a “regular” nursing program.

After doing your self-evaluation with the help of the above information, and you feel that you qualify (or may feel inadequate but still want to proceed) you may stay on this page and read the rest of the information.
