Well, there certainly are ways to evaluate the education and training,
and "test" the applicants for ability and knowledge. It seems reasonable
to grant qualified military personnel paid apprenticeships at hospitals
while they pursue educationally whatever can reasonably be determined is
needed to help them get a BSN. There are lots of science courses
involved in that BSN.


My grand niece was an ER nurse in the navy and in civilian life she
would have to start like any other high school graduate.
There was no path to use any of her training or experience.
