Fall 2016 Wake Tech Applicants

EmilyNicole91, I took my course at Triangle CPR as well. I asked them about the e-cards and they said that their program does not give those out. Apparently not all programs do. I am assuming BLS Provider course completion card we received then is sufficient for the CPR requirement...?

EmilyNicole91, so sorry to bog you down with so many questions. Did the program require students to get a Hepatitis B titer or if you had record of your Hep B vaccine series they accepted that..? I know students can do a titer if they're not sure if they had the Hep B series, but I know some programs require students to do a titer even if they have proof of vaccination just to see how immune they are. If their immunity is low they have to do a second series.

You're fine! I don't mind answering questions. But our cards are the current ones. Mrs. Smith sent me a picture of what they should look like and ours looks exactly like it. You don't have to get a titer. You have three options for the hep b documentation. If you have had the vaccinations you can upload those records. If you have gotten a titer and it showed you had immunity you can upload that. For those who haven't had the vaccines and do not want them you can sign a waiver. Hepatitis B is the only immunization you can sign a waiver on.

Thanks for all the info EmilyNicole91. Glad to know the program doesn't require a titer and a second series for Hep B. Trying to get as much out of the way as I can while I wait until September. Any word on the alternate list? Have you moved up from 5 yet?

EmilyNicole91, did you ever work as a CNA or did you just do the course through Wake Tech and sit for the state exam?

EmilyNicole91 · May 17, 2016

I haven't worked as a cna. I took the course through wake tech. I am thinking about trying to work as one during the summer and then on the weekends once I am in the program. I think the hands on experience would be great to have. I haven't asked again about my alternate status. I am dying to but I don't want to annoy her. I am going to try to hold out until June to ask again. I was hoping there would be more alternates on here and we could take turns lol.

Just wanted to double/triple check that once we complete the WTCC CNA program and take the state exam, we've met the CNA requirement :)

EmilyNicole91 · May 17, 2016

Yep it counts since you have clinical hours :)

Have any current Wake Tech students ever had to submit an appeal to financial aid because you were told you had exceeded or were close to exceeding the maximum timeframe allowed for your degree? Curious as to how long it takes to hear back from the committee and how lenient they are with the approvals...

HEY EVERYONE! Has any alternates heard anything yet? I also would love to hear from, Aperogy! Are you still in the All Nurses world?

Hi EmilyNicole91, now that it's June, any word on your new alternate number?

EmilyNicole91 · Jun 10, 2016

So I am currently on vacation in the mountains and was putting off asking her. I'm afraid there won't be a change and then I'll be all stressed out about it. I gave in though and emailed her. I'll let you know once she emails me back. Fingers crossed I moved up!
