Hey guys, so I found out I got accepted into nursing school in April. I officially start in August but I got pregnant unexpectedly. In my program they require us students to do titer blood tests and it must be positive or if not you'll have to get a dose of the shot to be considered compliant with your health. I found out my immune status was low for Rubella, and you can't receive that shot while pregnant. I'm nervous that I won't get to continue the program and will have to sit out for the semester which I really don't want to do. For those of you that has got through similar situation, did your school allow you to continue regarding the restriction?? Can I have my ob Dr write a note for my health restrictions?? Thanks in advance!
