I recently had my TB test. The first time I had it, it was negative. This time, it was read by an individual who seemed very uncertain about what she was doing. She began by measuring the induration, and then a nursing student marked on my arm the edges of the erythema and the redness was measured not the induration. Should I have my test redone, or should I just go ahead and get the chest x-ray, I don't have insurance right now. I think I may be scratching the tb site while I'm asleep.

Are there any IvyTech Nursing students on here, that have been in the program for a while now? I recently completed my fundamentals of nursing class, and at least 5 people failed the class, unfortunately that five included me. It saddens me because I haven't failed a class & now that I have worked so hard to get into the program, I fail the basic one. I have been crying all weekend. Here is my question though, I was contacted by the head of the department and she advised me that I would need to drop all the other courses I have signed up for except for the pharmacology, she stated I could drop that if I wished. Those of you that have completed or are in a Ivy Tech nursing program, have you heard of what happens when you fail a class? I mean if they told me I could keep the pharmacology I am assuming I just have to wait until they offer the nursing fundamentals again, in order to take it? All replies are welcomed, I was just trying to see if anyone knows of or has had any experience with this. Thank you all in advance, I really wish I would have found this site before.
