Can the 2yr exp requirement for CMSRN certification be your LPN experience?

[Ultraposh]

I am an LPN and am starting Excelsiors bridge program intending to complete within 8 months. Will the 2 yr requirement start after becoming a RN?

Does my work even qualify for Med Surg certification? o work a private duty case at my patients house. He has a continuous mist via nebulizer and daily treatments and, a trach and a gtube. I do tube feedings and adm meds via his gtube. He is 4 years old, ive been here almost two years now.

thanks so much
