Hey Michelle, the titer test is to prove immunity to a vaccine that you have had in the past. For example if I can't get a hold of my vaccine records then I will have to have a titer test to prove that I am immune to the MMR and Chicken Pox. Since the vaccine was not around when we were kids, we will have to either get a titer test to prove we have had chicken pox or show documentation from our physican that we had chicken pox (month and year) from our medical records.

Is anyone having a hard time getting their shot records or know where to get a titer test??? I know I'm not a spring chicken or anything but I am the young age of 29...lol and my old Peds office is having to search for my records for the MMR and documentation that I had Chicken Pox. They said chances are they can't go back that far. I have called all of the health depts and Family health centers that is on the list they gave us and none of them do titers. I called Baptistworks and they charge 75.00 per titer test. Just wondering if anyone found them cheaper since my insurance will not pay for a physical, tests or shots that has to do with work or school. FYI.... The little clinic in Krogers only charge 29.00 for a physical and 15.00 for a TB test.

Say your EFC is 0... that doesn't mean that you don't have to pay anything, it just means that you are eligible most likely for the max Pell grant amount which I do believe this year it is 5300. SEOG...the max at Galen is 600 (and that is going from memory on the amounts) So if your EFC is 0 you could end up with about 11,000 in student loans until you can apply for WIA and The Nursing incentative Fund in January. I just tried to apply for WIA (I have hear the amount is anywhere from 3500 to 4600) and the lady told me that Galen 1st year LPN students have to wait until our third quarter to actually get the benefit amount but we can start applying at the end of our second quarter which would be sometime in January. Sorry if all that sounds confusing.

Hey everyone!!! I just received my acceptance packet this past Saturday and I scheduled my financial aid appt with Jessica on June 4th. She told me the only grants you can use your first year are the Pell grant and SEOG grant. You can apply for the NISF which is the Nursing Incentative Scholarship Fund. The deadline is June 1st but it opens back up and you can apply starting January 2010. It pays up to 3,000 per year with a 1 year commitment for every academic year funded. There are requirements just like everything else but it could be something that could help us out! Jessica also told me that you can receive money throughout the year to reduce your student loans. So apply for any and all scholarships you can find. Free money is FREE MONEY!!! I did find out bad news on Monday... I was granted 1900 for the CAP grant through the state but Galen doesn't allow the 1st year LPN students to use it. What a shame to let that money go to waste Good luck to everyone still waiting for their packets and test results!!!

Did Spencerian College get their RN program back??
I haven't decided on which school I should go to. It is between Galen and Spencerian. Has Spencerian's RN program changed over the last year or so? Thanks for any information!!
