Malcolm X College-City Colleges of Chicago Nursing Fall 2021

[RN__25]

Hey guys! My name’s Aminah and I’m gearing up to apply to Malcolm X’s Fall 2021 nursing program (woo-hoo!). Previous Malcolm X forums have been super helpful with giving me an idea of the program/ preparing me to apply so I wanted to start one for Fall 2021! 

I believe the application cycle begins January 4th. Would love to get in contact with other applicants! Have you taken the TEAS already? Do you still have a prereq to complete? Let’s chat ?.

 From the website:  Students must score a minimum of 65% in the cumulative, and 73% in the reading for the AAS Degree Nursing Program. Students must score a minimum of 60% in the cumulative, and 70% in the reading for the Practical Nursing program.

I had a quick question! So I'm applying to the Spring 2022 cohort and I just started my application when it opened on the 30th of August. For the TEAS, can I just go ahead and register as long as it's taken at/through Malcolm X? There's an availability to take it in person in October and I want to register before spots get filled up.

yes. if I were you, I would check out Malcolm X Spring 2022 post as people here are already busy and might not look at this trail anymore. ? someone created a new post for Spring 2022. good luck!

Hey Guys,

Question since I can't get a hold of anyone by email.  For the medical documents regarding the immunization did you have to get blood work done to prove you have the vaccines they require? 

[RN__25]

Hey!

Yes, you need titers for measles, mumps and rubella, varicella, and hepatitis b to prove immunity.

[Pretty Parrot]

If you have proof of vaccination, that is acceptable. In the absence of vaccination record, blood titers must be done.

[JuJu_Gee, CNA]

OK great! I got bloodwork to prove that I have all of the vaccines last year. Not sure if that would be acceptable. I don't have a primary doctor in chicago. Do you guys have any recommendations of places to get blood titers just in case I need them.

Thanks in advance!

I got mine done at Midwest Express Clinic! I’m on Medicaid and it covered everything for me since they’re all just basic titers.

[RN__25]

You still have to submit titers in addition to vaccination history as vaccinations don’t always result in immunity. I was vaccinated for chicken pox when I was little but found I wasn’t immune through a titer; had to repeat the series and get another titer to prove immunity.

I googled discounted titers since my insurance doesn’t cover them. The school also sent this link for discounted titers: https://www.schooltiters.com/

The bloodwork you’re describing sounds like you’ve already received titers though.

E7 health is where I got my blood work done they give a student discount if you don’t have insurance.
