MCC - Nursing Students Starting 2009

Does anyone know if we are supposed to receive any more information about our health requirements, like forms for the doctor to fill out? Or do we just request copies of everything and turn it all in??? I feel like I am way behind because I have only scheduled a BLS class so far and have uniforms, but I still have to get my titers, drug test and tb test and stethoscope.

Remember that your physical has to be done in the month before you start, so you aren't behind at all! Last year the physical sheet was in the folder we got at orientation. For the titers I turned in photocopies of all the results.

They didnt say it had to be within a month, they just recommended that it not be too early but they said if you got it in June it wouldn't be a big deal. They didn't give us a physical sheet this year so I don't know about that...

As I understand it, the physical sheet is the same one they usually give for like sports and camp stuff. Just a general sheet most doctors have in their office.

They recommended the 30 day thing for those that start later terms so they wouldn't have them done too early, that's how I understood it.

Let me know what you find out. I start in August, too.

Gemberly,

When you purchase your books for fall quarter will you let me know the total price; I start in Oct., I'm just curious about a ball-park price on books. I realize you are registering for double the courses:). Thank you and you all have a wonderful 4th of July!!

Hi Kim...Its Nell who sold you the scrubs. I am in the same lab I think Tue 1:30-7:30 and my clinicals are at St John Macomb

Hi Nell!

Cool! I am glad you are in the same lab. My clinical is at Mt. Clemens Regional on Thursdays.

I am getting exited! I am glad I am going to know someone!

I got a packet in the mail with a form in it for the physical, and all the specifics of what we needed to do and by when. I am glad they sent them, because it answered a lot of questions that we were wondering about!

I got it to finally! I just scheduled all of my stuff now I just have to sit around and wait. (And also get through microbiology for the next 8 weeks.) I can't wait to get started!

Does anyone know how much the titers test and urine drug screen cost if your insurance doesn't cover them? I called my insurance (Blue Care Network) and they said if the doctor says they are "medically necessary" they will be covered BUT if they are billed as school related they won't be. So I am afraid that depending on how my doctor bills them, I may have to pay for them.

I signed up for BLS for healthcare providers which costs $55 (including book and card). This is the AHA class and the card is good for two years. I was told St John prefers this class to Red Cross which I had and let lapse. This class is offered at Henry Ford Macomb (19 Mile and Garfield). Boy, this is getting expensive!! My 1500 classes ( I start in August) are all C0801. Anyone else in this bunch of classes?
