I just e-mailed healthsciences because I am still confused about the TB. I am unsure if I need one or not since I had a negative one in July and I have one every year for work?? Confused, I'll post if they get back to me.

Kristi, let us know what they say about the TB test. I had one in September for my volunteering, so maybe I only need one? Not sure but I don't want to make a mistake.

I was wondering for the 2nd Clinical. Do you think we can change it later in the semester if it's not fill. What do you guys think?

Trina I'm doin my clinical at kaiser Manteca as well ...the nurses at work have said good things about kaiser...

This TB thing is annoying! I just had mine done in October so I'm assuming I only need to do one more? Which I dnt understand why!

Hi Everyone,

Congratulations on getting in to Delta's nursing program. I am about to finish my first year (final is on Monday)...I am half way done with the program!! Thought I would try to answer some of your questions. You do have to get a new TB, even if you just had one in July, September, etc. The hospitals require it. You will have to get one every semester. And it has to be a two-step, meaning you go one week, and then again the next week. The shoes do not matter if they are "nursing shoes", but they do have to be all white tennis shoes. I do recommend Nurse Mates shoes. I got mine at Life Uniforms They are light and very comfortable. I started out with regular tennis shoes and had bought the nurse mates by third week on the clinical floor. The ones I have do not have any laces, they are just slip ons, which makes it nice when urine or blood gets splashed on them because they are easy to wipe off. Ask for a stethoscope for Christmas. You will want a decent one. Mine is a Litman and I love it. Oh and sign up for the Eng33A. It is worth it, not only will you meet your fellow students before the first official day of school, but you will possibly meet some instructors and there is a computer program they let you play with that is extremely valuable. Welcome to the Delta ADN program!!
