What COULD qualify as HCE? (Not your typical healthcare experience)

[merp]

I know that professions such as CNA, PTA, phlebotomy, etc are acceptable for getting HCE. I've worked as a CNA with Trach and Ortho patients, but have also worked as a direct support professional in a group home for people with disabilities, a daycare with infants, and currently work in a transition home for homeless teens. I'm wondering if I could make these last three professions qualify as HCE. I've had to provide personal care, take temps, pulses, distribute meds, and perform safety checks at all of these jobs but wonder since they are not in a healthcare setting if it would even worth my time to mention them in applications.

 

I worked approx. 200 hours as a CNA (very part time in High School)

 

Approx. 800 hours in the group home

 

Approx. 1280 in the daycare

 

Approx 1400 in the transitional home

 

I'm wondering if anyone has SUCCESSFULLY been able to relate their non-healthcare jobs (that have healthcare aspects) to appropriate HCE. Thanks for the help guys!

Good day Jessica,

I'd suggest (as many have on this forum), to contact the school you are interested in and ask. Each admission staff will provide you with more details on their acceptance of each type of HCE they require.

 

Good Luck!
