I got the first Mantoux yesterday and then you have to get a second one a week out so that doesn't really help. This is why I opted to have my blood drawn at the end of May. My PCP left the organization on June 1st, so I'm going to spend today looking for a new provider, hope to get in and have them write me an order for QFT. Last night when I got home from work, I looked up Quest Diagnostics website and they still perform QFTs as long as you have an order. So now, to the order!

I am starting a MANE program this August. I need to submit the results of my tuberculosis test by July 15th. My school will only accept the results of a QFT or two step Mantoux. My provider ordered a QFT and I had my blood drawn at the end of May. I submitted my lab results to the school which were negative. I found out Monday that my school rejected my results because the test was not QFT, but T-Spot instead. It turns out that my health care organization does not do QFT anymore and only do T-Spot for TB blood testing. I had my first part of the Mantoux done this morning and will do my second one in a week. As a result, I will not have my results submitted by the 15th. I called and emailed my adviser at school but I have not heard anything. Is anyone else having this issue?

Bucky, where does OP state that they are an aide?

I received my acceptance letter from NHCC yesterday! My score was 11.13 so hopefully some of you are next!

I am officially off the waitlist at North Hennepin! I received my letter today. I need to mail it back by 4/16 so I'm going to run to the post office and overnight it in the morning! My score was 11.13, if you're keeping track.

Congratulations on the wonderful news!

First of all, congratulations! I wish I would have applied to Anoka Ramsey. I work with nurses that have graduated from many different schools. The ARCC graduates seem to be better prepared. This is purely anecdotal, just what I have observed. It sounds like they have also had better clinical experiences as well.

Adeenk, I don't know what kind of work you do, but if you're a nursing assistant, you could get a job in a hospital doing second shift during the week and whatever shift works for you on the weekends.

I don't think any MANE programs offer an evening\weekend option.

Yes, I am waitlisted at NHCC.

Waitlisted with an 11.13!

That would drive me nuts!

Waitlisted at NHCC with an 11.13.

Yes, you get a letter no matter your status.

Bake0905, did you see the date on the letter?
