Immunizations for NS

Published

I don't find out till October if I got accepted or not, but I was wondering if you guys had enough time to get all your immunizations/records/titers together? I just had the hepatitis B shots at work 2 years ago & they're having a tough time finding my paperwork (I work at a non-medical facility) and I don't know if my pediatrician is still around lol. My current doctor just became my doc about 2 years ago so she doesn't have my old records. Do titers take awhile to get to get done?

For my program, most of the immunizations required are for the CNA course as well. Since I've done all the CNA requirements except Hep B, I'm way ahead. I won't even be applying until Spring of next year. :)

Specializes in NICU.

Titers are available within a few days of the blood draw.

I was unable to get my records for the Hep B shot (I had it done probably 10 years ago). I got the titer done and the results within two days.

My work found my record of my hepatitis B shots but hopefully it's good enough. I'm not sure exactly what the nursing program will need cuz the paper is like a consent to get the shots and it has all 3 dates that I was vaccinated.
