Nikki, look at it again. Do you see Rubeola?-that's the same as measles.

Ok... you saw that before my post...

:-) I was worried for a minute there. I guess I don't have much confidence in the PA because she seemed ditzy today.

Ok, so I know we need two copies of the drug/alcohol confirmation but are we only submitting one by July 15th and the other is for us to take to LabCorp for testing? She said for the background check she only needed the summary page, not the entire report, correct?

Yes, 2 copies of the confirmation for drug/alc.-submit 1 by July 15, take 2nd to registration.

They want the confirmation for b/g ck. I made a copy of the report for my own records and in case we need to show it for whatever reason.

Confirmation of payment or the summary of the report for the background check? I would think they'd want the report summary. I guess it doesn't hurt to put both in the packet if in doubt.

Our acceptance letter and admission check list sheet states copy of b/g confirmation, but it won't hurt to submit both.

Hi Everyone!

Glad I found this thread, wish I had found it before orientation. I go for registration on the 28th and other than getting my lab/paper work and CPR class in order, I haven't done much prepartion/purchasing supplies. I have been pricing books and contacting people in the year before us to see what I can borrow but i think I am going to wait to see what they say at registration.

Just wanted to say hi and looking forward to starting this program with you guys.

Hi Travelista, welcome!

I haven't purchased any supplies/equipment, waiting until after registration. We've all gotten some great deals on books @ amazon, ebay and textbooks.

Glad you found us and looking forward to meeting you!

I asked about MMR (since my follow-up for the vaccine will be after the deadline) and PPD.

Here's D. Matthews reply:

You present the report on the current vaccine given and submit proof of the next one as completed. Submit copy of the chest xray report and complete the positive PPD document next year.

For MMR, is it proof of the next vaccine or positive titer? I interpret her reply as a 2nd vaccine needed. What do you guys think? Andrea might have a clearer answer.

I'm confused by that Kristian. Did you ask this becuase you didn't have immunity to rubella or something? Or are you asking to see if we need vaccines as an adult with a positive titer? I sure wish they made all of this stuff clearer so we aren't all so confused.

Change of plans for me today. I had to take my toddler back to the doctor because he is still extremely fussy and not eating. They did a strep test on him and it came back positive. They also confirmed his breathing was rapid which is why I brought him in on Sat, when they cleared him. Ugh. Then we got a cxr for him since DH has pneumonia, even though his lungs sound clear. So now I am waiting on results and have to go back in to get antibiotics for him. My oldest gets picked up from camp at 3:30 and once I get back from the doc my little one will be going down for nap. So if I go after 3:30 I will be stuck in traffic so I guess I will wait another day. It sucks but I gotta get my little one healthy and eating again.
