I ordered exactly on August 1st and received my uniforms on the 10th.

Hey TiffTiff! I wonder why they told you there was a cut off date? I just ordered mine during the beginning of this month and received it earlier today. I went to the Malvern location also.

Yeah, now that I think of it, it seems like my GI doctor is scared to just write me a note and give me an okay. He said that I am a carrier but my liver is fine. Now I have to do a Biopsy to make him give me an answer. I wish I could just go to another doctor but it might be to late by the time he gives me an answer. It's pretty disappointing knowing that my cousin (who is a Hep B carrier and a nurse) getting through the system smoothly while I'm struggling just to get into school.

Thank you everyone for the quick replies. Hey JBudd! I was wondering what kind of note they asked you for? I've read one forum where someone just needed a verification from their doctor that they really had Hep B. My situation is different though. They spoke to my doctor to verify everything and they still wanted me to get a note from a GI doctor. The nurse from my school actually referred me to one and its been almost two months and the doctor still doesn't want to give me an answer. I told him I really need to know.

Hi! I got accepted to the 2 year program at my school and while the school nurse was reviewing my papers she came across a check mark where my doctor had written that I was in an infectious state. I did not want to lie so I told the truth about being a Hep B carrier. At first the Nurse said that I might not be able to do clinicals which means no program. Now they want me to get my GI doctor to right a note saying that I can go along with the program. I only have a month left until school starts and it seems like time is running out for me. I had to do blood work and now I have a liver biopsy coming up. I am getting really frustrated because I feel as if they are discriminating against me. Does anyone know if a school can deny me from the program because of my Hep B?

i actually just went to head to toe and matt is right! they are very ignorent people!

Hello, I'm so glad I found this forum! I am a Hep B carrier also but I am a student who is going into my first year in the nursing program. I am very frustrated with my school because even though I got accepted to the program, they are now telling me that I might not be able to go through with it because of my Hep B. They want me to go to my doctor and ask him if I can go into the program. Does anyone know if there is a way I can appeal to their decision if they don't let me in?
