    ToriTheTerrible replied to keili30's topic in Texas Nursing

    I just got home from work and had a financial aid offer in my UTHSC email. No word on scholarships though.

    ToriTheTerrible replied to keili30's topic in Texas Nursing

    I have the early morning clinicals as well. I hope to have early morning labs. I am still trying to figure out how I am going to pay for this. I am eagerly waiting to hear from Financial Aid.

    Well, registering for classes was easy enough. Maybe I should go back and double check to make sure I didn't goof it up. Anyone else registered today? What Clinicals are you interested in taking?...

    Hi All When I turned in my immunization form today, they told me my records would remain on hold until I filled out the Health Insurance form. So, I filled it out, made a copy of my insurance card...

    ToriTheTerrible replied to keili30's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hi All I was reading over the email we received yesterday about registration and holds and realized (sometimes it takes a freight train to get through my skull) that most of the holds should clear up...

    ToriTheTerrible replied to keili30's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hi Keili (and everyone else) The only holds that we have to worry about are the background checks, immunizations and the orientation. Once these are fulfilled, you can register. I am assuming that...

    Hi All The Student Health Center at UTHSCSA does offer immunizations and TB testing, but payment is due up front.

    ToriTheTerrible replied to keili30's topic in Texas Nursing

    Keili I am not sure how to help you as I have had the same job for almost 20 years, but I have some suggestions which may be of benefit. First, see if you have evidence of previous immunizations....

    hi hpaola I went to my healthcare provider, a np with North East Internal Medicine, she gave me a labslip for Quest Diagnostics. I went to their lab near North East Methodist Hospital and they sent...

    ToriTheTerrible replied to keili30's topic in Texas Nursing

    I believe some of you are going to be attending UTHSCSA from cities farther away than San Antonio. I live in a house just outside of San Antonio that has 2 empty bedrooms. Maybe someone from this...

    ToriTheTerrible replied to keili30's topic in Texas Nursing

    Got my card in the mail and I can not agree that it is blue, looks more like lavender to me. My TB test was negative, which means I passed. And still am waiting on the lab results for my measles and...

    I took Chem II at SAC with Dr Burleson, Spring 10, evenings Tues and Thursday. (Wondering if anyone here was in my Chem II class)

    Hi Katya I am currently not taking any classes. I was being silly and acting as if my tuberculosis (TB) immunity test (to check if I have or have been exposed to tubercles bacillus) was a test for a...

    ToriTheTerrible replied to keili30's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hi All In spite of not having time to study, I started my TB test today. Will get my pass or fail grade on Wednesday. I got my lab slips as well for the titers. Still no word back on my background...

    ToriTheTerrible replied to keili30's topic in Texas Nursing

    well I got my hold notice today, letting me know I can not register until my immunization record is updated. Oh well.

  17. UTHSCSA Spring 2011 Hopefuls

    ToriTheTerrible replied to keili30's topic in Texas Nursing

    Okay I got the 411 on the immunizations. Hep B: If you have the exact dates of your 3 vaccinations of hep b, you do NOT need a titer. You will need a titer if you do not know the day, month and year...

  18. UTHSCSA Spring 2011 Hopefuls

    ToriTheTerrible replied to keili30's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hi Katya You are going to need a titer for the hep b, even with proof of vaccination. Also, vaccination is not proof of immunity, titers are. Not sure which ones we need proof of immunity for vs...

    Hi Keili I wouldn't have checked my spam folder. Never would have occurred to me, great idea. Actually, after reading your post, I did check my spam folder and found an email from my chemistry...

    Anyone heard from rntob? I was wondering how he made out with Student Services

  21. UTHSCSA Spring 2011 Hopefuls

    ToriTheTerrible replied to keili30's topic in Texas Nursing

    rntob you know we are rooting for you and good luck

    ToriTheTerrible replied to keili30's topic in Texas Nursing

    Oh about that certificate you get after taking the BSAT. You need to take that to orientation. Also the one after the HIPPA, for which I have not gotten email notification about yet.

  23. UTHSCSA Spring 2011 Hopefuls

    ToriTheTerrible replied to keili30's topic in Texas Nursing

    rntob I would suggest you call the school. I read that there was a problem with the email and double checking to be sure it was received is never a bad idea. I would also suggest hand carrying any...

  24. UTHSCSA Spring 2011 Hopefuls

    ToriTheTerrible replied to keili30's topic in Texas Nursing

    to rntob it all depends on what you are referring to. Background check must be finished by orientation, that includes clearing out any blips that may appear. Immunizations also by orientation....

    I was told to expect something in about 1 week. But I expect the up to 6 months refers to those who have things that need to be cleared up.
