CyFair Nursing HEP B TITER

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

So I'm applying for the spring 2019 ADN Block program at Cyfair and trying to get my documents together. As far as the Hep B titer, I had it done at Quest Diagnostics and the lab report came back with all my basic info, the Quest info, my doc's info, and it states that I am "non reactive" (immune). But online it says lab reports simply stating "negative or positive" are not accepted. However, the lab report is the official report. So.... is this the report I submit?

I am assuming that you mean the Cyfair website is stating that negative or positive is not accepted. But you said that the report says non-reactive, not negative or positive, so what am I missing?

If it were me, I would call the person in charge of this at the program and ask them what is acceptable if not positive or negative, explain what you have and see if they will take it. If they won't take what you have then call the lab and explain the situation and see what they can do for you.

Hi,

Yes I plan on contacting them, I just wanted to see if anyone had ever done the same as I had. I wasn't sure if they needed to see actual detailed blood work panels like they give you when you get your routine blood work done.

I imagine they are wanting the actual lab values along with reactive/non-reactive, such as 13.0 mIU/mL. For my program, while you may be considered immune if your results are in the "gray zone," that would require us to retake the series or show that we've taken the required number of series attempts and thus are nonresponders. So in our case, we have to have the lab value itself to show we are out of that gray zone.

How did you get the report with the lab values? Did you have to call the lab who performed the titer?

You can probably call either the physician's office that ordered the test or the help/customer service line for the lab that did the tests to see how you can get the proper document.

My PCP just gave me a print-out of the lab results that had the lab value with the ranges for non-reactive and reactive. It wasn't something I had to ask specifically for since I believe that's just how the lab does their results.
