Re: National kidney transplant institute @ Tobby_Walter:
Yeah, that might be the case. And I can't blame them since they are only protecting their trainees as well. Needle-prick would be very common to NKTI so I guess it's best to be immune to Hepa B. Anyway, I got my results yesterday and my Hepa B surface Antibody result is positive! Yey that means I don't need shots anymore. =)
@ JesJay:
Hi Jesjay. Unfortunately, the training for August 31-Dec 2009 batch is already closed. I registered a week ago and when I went there yesterday to submit my HBsAB result, they told me that it's already closed. Registration for January 2010 isn't until November of this year, but I guess it's best to register earlier than that.
@ Cucumber:
Hi cucumber, I registered for BST last May 21, 2009. No, there is no specific date to apply. It's just that they accept applications on Tuesdays and Thursdays within 9am to 11am only. I don't have a backer. They will only entertain you if you have complete requirements. I went there on a Tuesday at around 8:30am and I was the only one there. Just a tip, though, make sure that you register at least 4 months before the next batch. (Yeah, I once inquired about the training last April and they told me that there are already 50+ who registered for the August 31-December 2009 batch).
Hope this helps! =)
