Registered Nurse Applying for Health Administration Officer

[yellowknifer30]

I recently submitted my DEO application with two trade choices of Health Care Administration Officer and Nursing Officer.  I have a Bachelor of Science Nursing and have been nursing in various roles for over 6 years.  For the past four years I have been nursing in positions with more of an administrative focus.  My questions are:

A) is it possible to qualify for Health Care Administration Officer with a Bachelor of Science Nursing?

B) If I did not qualify would it be possible to apply for ROTP to take a Mater of Health Administration from a civilian university (Dalhousie for example)?

The current entry standards for Health Care Administration are as follows:

IDEAL
Master’s degree in:
o Health Care Admin;
o Business Admin; or
o Human Resource Management
Or
Undergraduate degree with a Major in:
o Health Care Admin;
o Business Admin; or
o Human Resource Management

ACCEPTABLE
Any undergraduate degree with a Minor in:
o Health Care Admin;
o Business Admin; or
o Human Resource Management or related Health Care fields.

If you do not meet the entry standards shown above, you could apply for ROTP with the hope of obtaining the Undergraduate Degree necessary for the Health Care Administration occupation.
