Help!! Not IMMUNE HEP B SURFACE RESULT!!!

[NurseMR]

I'm in enrolled in a 2yr BSN program and just received my hep b surface titers result yesterday and it came back not immune...ugh ! I have clinicals in TWO days and wondering if I will be allowed to take clinicals. I cannot miss clinicals and remain in my program. I know that I will have to get the hep B immunization and re-tested but I dont think there is enough time to do so. Can anyone advise me?? I'm not sure what this means if it will prevent me from taking my clinicals. My school's medical form mentions if MMR came back negative then I will have to get re-immunized and retake titer prior to clinicals. However, for the hep b it didn't say retake titer before clinicals, it just said retake. Any light on this matter would be appreciated. Thanks!!

I'm very nervous!!

Where I'm from the entire series wasn't repeated, but only the booster (or it was possibly the final dose).

Regardless, you have a while to get rechecked again after the new dose(s) so don't sweat it, take a deep breath, and don't forget to get your CPR card renewed (I did and had 6 days to get it done from scratch )

Ahh the memories of thinking that I'm going to be left in the ditch crying and naked b/c I didn't do "x" thing for school ... unless you REALLY mess up, you're OK... Because you're body didn't grab an immunity titer, you're not really at fault for that one
