Here is our new thread ladies (Nikki, Andrea, Kristian, Marissa...and whoever else will be starting at MC this fall).
These are similar to the cases I got but I paid only $1 each. http://www.amazon.com/C-Line-Biodegradable-Index-Cards-48335/dp/B002UKOKRW/ref=sr_1_2?s=office-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1312474508&sr=1-2
I am hoping to alter them to make something similar to these but with rings...
OMG Nikki, that's the same girl I had on Friday!!! I remember she did have braces and she was very nice...and then nicely told me that none of the LabCorps do alcohol tests!! And guess what? She's here again today...sigh...I'm gonna try and be nice; crossing my fingers for no issues this time.
Hey!
Had my appt for Hep B and Rubella titer and submitted urine @ Labcorp.
UMd must be experiencing last minute appts for school requirements cuz the immunization dept was packed! The nurse I saw today is very nice and I remember her from my last hep B vac. She seemed bit flustered though. I was afraid I'd have to come back for my Hep B cuz she kept insisting it may be too early. She suggested that we call the school and she spoke w/ (I think) Prof. M and we got the go ahead. As usual other delays happened, had to wait for the nurse to put the order for the titer into the system for the lab tech. She totally forgot to do that. He kept calling and was put on hold several times. He was starting to get irritated w/ them. Then finally we got a call from the nurse and we were able draw blood!
Even after all that I got to Labcorp almost and hr and 1/2 early. Waited w/ 20+ ppl. We were all packed into that room and ppl were spilling out into the hallway. Turns out many didn't have an appt and some were waiting for almost 2 hrs. Got to meet some interesting ppl though and saw a classmate of mine from A&P and Chem. We have clinical and classes together, but unfortunately for him, he got what was left.
The lady @ labcorp didn't even ask me what type test I needed. Was I suppose to tell her? Would she even know cuz the test isn't done there. I don't know if the lady I saw is who you two described. She was nice, but didn't appear to be in her twenties and I don't remember braces.
Andrea, you're already there?
So did Prof. M have 8/7 written on your sheet? Sounds like my situation. Glad the school approved to get it.
So the portion that shipped for my med equipment was only the forceps. They sent it in box that could ship a baseball hat. I had to really look in the box. I thought it was empty. No clue when my other stuff will get here.
What a horrible experience I had with this LabCorp! Hope to never go back there again! Nikki knows what happened cuz I had to call her during the whole fiasco. But basically, I went and the same woman was there. She asked me why I was back and I told her because the alcohol test wasn't done. So she looked at my lab form and told me that since there were no tests written under letter H, the lab still wouldn't do an alcohol test. That's when I began to get irate. I told her it didn't need to be written there because I had a confirmation from PreCheck that said I need a drug AND alcohol test. She said I better call my school to figure it out. So I called the MC lady first...busy signal. Then I called the PreCheck lady and had to leave a message. Luckily she called me right back and said she didn't understand the issue. I gave her the # to that LabCorp; meanwhile I had to sit back in the waiting room with 25+ people. She called me back while I was talking to Nikki (I called Nikki to ask if her form had anything written under H and she said no). The PreCheck lady said "Well, no one is answering (surprise, surprise) but it doesn't matter anyway cuz the sample you gave on Friday has been read and cleared. So you have everything you need for MC's nursing program, so you don't need another urine test...you can just leave the lab." I confirmed with her about 3 times that I'd heard her correctly. She apologized for all the confusion. I didn't ask if my report had been put on PreCheck yet but I just checked and it hasn't been. I'm kind of nervous...maybe I should call and ask her when I should expect to see it there. I really won't believe everything's okay until I see the results posted.
Just checked the tracking for both my stethoscope and my Redding supplies. Both are scheduled to be delivered today so anxiously waiting for the UPS and mail to get here while packing for the weekend. My best friend of 20 years is coming down from NYC with her husband to go with me and my husband to Ocean City for the weekend...NO KID!!! :) Lol I love my son but seriously, it's not a real vacation if you're constantly watching your kid the whole time! It's the first time both of us will be away from him for a whole weekend at the same time (we've done weekend trips before but one of us always stayed home while the other went somewhere). So I'm a little worried about him missing us, but he'll be with my mom, aunt, and his cousin so I'm sure he'll be plenty entertained! Hoping to see the results of the drug/alcohol test posted by tonight...

What lady did you have Andrea? The gal I had was nice. Black woman, probably in her 20s. I think she had braces. And I did confirm that both tests would be done with her before I tinkled.
I faxed over my doc confirmation of the 2nd Hep B shot and emailed her to make sure she got it. I'm worried she won't accept his confirmation and will want something more formal.
I went to Staples to fax it so I did a little school shopping. Man, they really gauge you on those colored/spiral index cards. I opted to just buy 3 plastic index containers and a hole punch, in case I end up prefering to stick them on a ring. I already have a bunch of white index cards at home.
I dropped off the check and some forms to the day care owner today to secure Liam's spot with her.
Now I've got to figure out when to go get my id. Maybe tomorrow. I tried to print off my payment confirmation yesterday and it got cut off on the right side so I should reprint it in landscape then go.
