what school is that? maybe I should transfer to there.

Plus, if a nurse is skilled in giving ID injection, the patient barely feels the needle. they don't need to have severe pain from ID injection. and I remember my school taught us that if you see blood when you give ID injection, don't advance the needle further. just start it over. When the nurse poked me, I kind of got a hunch that this would turn out false result. when she gave me that injection, she was standing and I was sitting. I tried to stabilize my arm, so I sat on chair backward, putting my arm over the top of the chair back - because the nurse didn't try to give the injection as she sits, putting my arm on her desk. However, she held my wrist in the air and poked me from proximal to distal. - you know usually when nurses give an injection they advance the needle from their side (distal) to the patient's side (proximal), but the nurse did the other way - this was an interesting thing to see cause I've never seen such way to give an injection, but I trusted her, trying to respect her experiences as a nurse.

the nurse who read my arm didn't allow me to get another injection. she said she cannot until it's clear that I'm negative

I said I never received positive results until this nurse who read my arm this week said it looks like positive. also, I've never heard that injecting TB deeper can result in false positive either. but I believe that this is the case. the wheal was made - but the funny part was it wasn't clearly made. in other words, the bleb was half made and looked like most of the liquid was absorbed into the lower layer. blood came out, and since then the injection site was sore and tingling sometimes, and until yesterday the part of my wrist around radial pulse felt kind of numbed.

the nurse who read my arm referred me to metro tb clinic to get an x-ray or some procedure to follow up. since they're closed during weekends, I'm waiting until Mon.

how you don't know whether the nurse poked you deeper or not? you can differentiate the level of pain, and feeling of the needle in ID and SQ because you have nerves. And I believe my case is a false result, which would have resulted from wrong ID injection technique. Because when the nurse poked, blood came out, and I've received TB test so many times, but the level of pain was unnecessarily severe, and it wasn't intradermal injection feeling. I felt deeper than that.

I've referred Cleveland, OH Chest X-Ray Cost Comparison | NewChoiceHealth.com

I'm in OH, and not sure if the county health department would provide low cost chest X-ray here.

did your friend paid that money with insurance? do you know which clinic or hospital she went for that?

Plus, the chest X-ray without insurance can cost above $800 some, which I'm not sure I could pay that much of money now.

Can I get another injection at somewhere? cause the nurse who read my arm said she can't give me another injection until it's clear that I'm negative.

Hi, just a question. I recently received a TB injection, and the nurse poked me deeper than she was supposed to, so later the nurse who read my arm asked me to go to hospital and get an x-ray, which is the case my insurance doesn't cover - they only cover procedures for accidents. so, here's the question. Are there any ways that I could prove that I'm negative for TB? I've never received positive results ever, and I'm 99.9% sure that I'm negative. any suggestions?

thanks you so much for the information.

do you think that happens in many schools there? weeding out students every semester and encouraging them to drop out of the program.

Thanks for the info, but I've already checked NCLEX pass rates of those schools, but I wasn't able to find their graduation rates and reputations. some say Tri-C and Lorain county C.C. have a good reputation and they're good programs for students, but on the other hand, some're talking about weeding out system. if you're currently living in OH and have some other info about ADN programs there, would you share them with me? thanks.
