   Megan- Based on what I know I don't think that form will be enough. I'm pretty sure it needs to be signed by a doctor. If I where you I'd either call the drs who administered those vaccines or just get the titters done. Chelsea- I actually did start ...

   From_nanny2nurse replied to BenFL's topic in General Students

   I'd go the ADN route. The EMT program at TCC is hardly worth the effort IMHO, making only a couple dollars more than minimum wage would just upset me. If you did the ADN program and eventually decided you wanted a BSN or higher you could always do a ...
