I just received the official acceptance letterfrom SON. Attached is the cotract we have to sign and submit by December 1st. :up:

@limorgolan Do you know if the SON accepts titers done more than a year ago?

Titer results DO NOT expire. According to the CSULB Nursing Student handbook 2014.

arghh..sigh

guys I got my Tdap 3 years ago at my high school but if I lost my records of it, then I should obviously get a new Tdap vaccine right?

man this sucks ( this is what happens when you don't organize your stuff.

Do you know where I can get Tdap?

If you're still a student at any school you can get it from the health services bldg. I got mine from my community college.

I know… I DO NOT want another vaccine… I don't believe in them anyway… I know I had my Tdap, but I can't remember where I got it, and I have no records.

On top of that, they will not let me submit a quantitative titer to PROVE I am vaccinated for Pertussis/Diphtheria… that is so HORRIBLE !!! Why can't I show them, why do I need ANOTHER injection of POISON?!?!? ArrrHggGGGG!!!

THey will take Titers for ALL the other immunizations, why not Tdap?!?! I know the Tetorifice must me boostered, maybe diphtheria, but DEFINITELY NOT the Pertussis, especially if your titer SHOWS YOUR SUFFICIENT ANTIBODY LEVELS… this is ridiculous……

Hey guys,

I read in the orientation packet that a qualitative titer for Hep B is acceptable but mine does not include a numeric value, it just states that I'm positive for sufficient antibody levels. Do you think I should get it redone somewhere else (I originally did it at Kaiser)?

LouDogg, BSN, RN · Dec 3, 2014

That IS a qualitative test is. No numerical value, just positive or negative.

kthrn · Dec 3, 2014

"A note about Hep B: Although we prefer Quantitative titers for every

requirement, it is very difficult to find a lab that provides this type of

test. Therefore, if you can’t find it, then QUALITATIVE will be accepted

– as long as you are provided a numeric value!"

Yeah, I know the test I had done was a qualitative test. I'm confused because the orientation packet says a qualitative test will be accepted "as long as you are provided a numeric value."

LouDogg, BSN, RN · Dec 17, 2014

Ya, that was even confusing in the orientation...

basically, no numeric value = no good.

That's what I got out of it

hi guys,

I'm applying for Fall 2015 and was wondering, does everyone who's above a certain point cutoff have to do the interview or only the people who are on the fence. I ask because I live 7 hours away from Long Beach + I'm just curious. Also, what's the interview like? thanks for any help =]
