Charity SON Fall 2013

Shawnney · Apr 2, 2013

I went to orientation yesterday, Monday morning. The meeting lasted 1 hour 15 minutes. Its a lot of information. The administrators went over everything and answered every question. It was a large group - of course I was the oldest in the bunch.

I already turned in my packet for the LSBN. Didn't want to wait. Wanted to get that turned in right away. Working on Immunizations, titers, CPR, and TB now. Getting to a CPR class is going to be the hardest. Of course no one at DCC EMS program regarding a CPR class has ever called me back -- no surprise there.

I parked in a lot around the corner and paid $3 but that was at 8:30 in the morning and had a few spots.

I'll be sending an e-mail out to my advisor on the 8th to set up an appointment for advising. That's it for me. How is everyone else doing? Any tips?

Hello Shawnney, seems like you have everything under way. However, I did get my CPR renewed through one of the instructors at DCC. You have to physically go there to get that taken care of. Good luck.

Anyone know if there insurance company will pay to have the titers done? I had my mom call BCBS and they will pay for them as long as they are part of an occupational/school related requirement. Hoping the doctor can code them under my physical and get them paid for.

Hey guys im new to this forum but do y'all know when is the deadline for spring 2014 I have never applied to Charity SON... This will be my first time any pointers/ helpful hints would be appreciated!!!

Not sure! I have to call my insurance company! A friend of mine said she went to her primary care and paid her copay and then he referred her to quest diagnostic and she did not pay anything to them.

My insurance covers it! But my primary care doesn't give shots! So now I'm trying to find a doctor!

Anyone print out the pages for the dr to fill out? How many pages was it? I printed it but the last page is blank, just want to make sure I'm not missing something. Thanks!!

cloewe4950 · Apr 5, 2013

My last page was blank also. You only need the first three for the physical that last two are to waive two immunizations. Got my drug test done earlier today and will be getting my physical and fingerprints done on Tuesday.

Thanks! I was worried I missed something. I got my physical this afternoon. Doing fingerprints and drug test next week. All this stuff has me so anxious. But very excited!
