Hi all, I'm new to this site (just joined today). But I've been lurking for a few weeks. I'm applying for the Aria Health SON and would love to meet others who are applying for the September 2012 academic year.
I am definitely waiting til the last minute to get these documents scanned! Yikes, but once that's done, next up is orientation!!!
@ Parker, you definitely need the 2 step tb test done. Were you able to get the 2nd tb shot at the docs?
@ Ayanna, I am right there with ya with the hep b series! As long as we submit and scan that form that we are in process, we should be fine.
Hey Bumblebee:
Yes I got the first TB test done and 48 hours later I had my results read and it was negative. So I figured I was good, but when I was reading over the health forms we needed to submit I noticed it said in bold letters 2 TB tests need to be done. The first one than 7 days later a second one...regardless of the results.
I asked the nurse about it, an she said it is common for some employers and students in health fields to need 2 TB tests done back to back for safety measures...then only 1 each year after.
I know I thought it was a bit much... but it sounds like it might be something Aria started more recently if you didn't have to get two done when you started.
