PHCC spring 2012 RN acceptance letters?

jennymarie1218 · Oct 26, 2011

wow maza- 530 is alot! i only paid 259 for all the immunizations, titers, and physical. 20 for the flu shot. I had my hep B shots a while back so i only got the titer for that so that also helped to lower my costs. I go back tomorrow to have my PPD test read, and when i do, i will find out the breakdown of each and post it on here. Just so everyone has a comparison in price.

avela--we will have to talk this out at orientation because it would def help us both out!

Yeah it is a lot, but that's including background check (64), drug test (24) cpr course (40) physical (75) immunizations (65,97,23 and 141 (47*3) respectively). I forgot about the flu shot when I made the calculations so add another 20 to that and that brings it to 549.

When did you have the PPD done? I thought it took 2-3 weeks for results according to PHCC.

PPD results are read 48 hour later, then you go back a week later for the next test, and then again 48 hours later. (atleast that is what I did at the health department in July)

Justlet go: I found Lifespan! I hope it is a current edition? Even if it is not, I have found in the past, that the only thing different in close editions is the page numbers... so we can check on that! You are right it probably is to soon to sign up, didn't think of that! Whenever you want them just let me know..

Jennymarie: I am going to go to the place where you went (Lutz location though) Closer... They take my insurace and even with my deductible it is cheaper than Walgreens. Will redo my PPD at the health department though, because they quoted me $25 again for the 2 step.

hmmm....i was told the PPD was only a 1 step process? i also researched it on medicinenet.com and thats what it stated also. Its supposed to be administered intradermally and then the results read 48-72 hours later.

on a separate note....went to phcc today and decided i would stop by the bookstore to buy the books. Well, when i got there, they strongly suggested I *NOT* buy the books until December. He said the books that are listed on that list that we received in our packet and that are currently in the bookstores are the ones from fall semester. He said that they tend to change a few things up every semester. So, as if we don't have enough money to spend, I figured I'd pass this info along!

Thanks Millsypoo!!! I can get them when we meet up not sure if that will be the day of orientation or before. Ehere do you live btw? And where does everyone else live also...I know the wesley chapter crew:D I am in Port Richey:p

Jennymarie: I would check with PHCC about the PPD, I was under the impression that they are doing away with the 1 step and only the 2 step will be accepted? If so they can only be a week a part.

Justletgo: I live in Spring Hill, but work on Embassy in Port Richey... so whatever works for you works for me.

How is EOE doing with their check off lists?

I've filled out the paperwork, but I still have to do everything else...

justletgo1 · Oct 29, 2011

Okay so I have some news to tell ya all......I found Trinity Urgent Care at 10730 State Rd 54...they are open from 9 am til 9pm Monday thru Saturday!!! And even Sunday from 10am til 4pm.....I got the flu shot, the series of titers, PPD and the physical for $314 :coollook:

jennymarie1218 · Oct 29, 2011

hey guys....just another quick note. I called the school today to find out about the 1-step vs. 2-step PPD test. What I was told by Billie (the associate dean of nursing) was that this is an ongoing controversy. While the 1-step will suffice for the requirements for PHCC, some hospitals are now/soon will be requiring the 2-step. So, to be on the safe side, i will go back on monday and get another test done. If anyone else has any info on this, please share! :) Thanks and have a great weekend!

How much is everyone paying for just the physical, or is it bundled in? My primary said he would do mine for $20. If it's the same or cheaper, I'll just do it at the walk in. That clinic on 54 is right by my house!

justletgo1 · Oct 29, 2011

The physical from the Dept of health was $75 and the walk in on 54 was $45...$20 sounds really good...I just wanted to do a one stop shopping deal...lol...But if do both places that will save ya $$$$...and you know how we will need it!
