Anyone on here want to connect on Facebook or something? I am going to be in the traditional track.

Congrats!!!

Yeah, I got it today

TEAS 87 Program GPA I think is 3.5 I have a higher science GPA, but can't remember exactly what it is. I applied since beginning of September so I can't remember the exact #s I will look up my paperwork and post my stats later today.

Thanks!!!

Just been accepted into the traditional track! It says I need to return the acceptance form to the school of nursing by Nov 14th

So did you request it? Did they give it to you or did they send it out?

Today is Veterans Day, no mail -____-

Not yet maybe tomorrow

Haven't received mine I think tomorrow is the day!!

Rest assured that you are not the only one who goes through this and hospitals are equipped with knowledgable employee health staff that can address any questions you have about this.

Once all documentation is reviewed by the RN/PA and is to satisfaction, no referral to the health dept/personal physician is needed and the employee can be cleared for orientation. Other hospitals may have other protocols

For those who already have a documented prophylaxis treatment all we require is an interview with our RN/PA for questionnaire and a recent CXR is sufficient we will still do the IGRA test but will not repeat the CXR if it is within 12 months of hire

Positive IGRA test --> interviews with RN or PA for symptom questionnaire ---> chest X-ray and referral to health dept or personal physician ----> health dept/physician will decide whether to order a sputum test and will prescribe prophylaxis. As soon as the hospital receives the letter that states "employee may return to work" we clear the employee to go to orientation as long as everything else is also cleared on the employee's other screenings (drug/nicotine/immunization status)

I do not believe it will minimize your chances of getting a job. Having worked for occupational health, I can tell you that when we do our new hire screenings with IGRA testing for TB, we get many that come up positive we just follow protocol and employees just have latent TB. I would talk with the department that will do your new hire screening occupational health or employee health office.
