That its a big chance you contracted hep b.

Thanks everyone! I really really appreciate it . I just thought since the titers were really low and since I work in a place were its coming it means...you know.

I asked my Dr to run a test for hepatitis b and c. Hep C came back negative. The test he ran was called Hepatitis B surface ab quan. Beside the test was listed 8.3...which I'm guessing is low. Here's the stressful part. I've worked in a nursing home for two years tons of hepatitis . And my job didn't give me the vaccines at the time because they asked me was I ever vaccinated and I told them a few years ago and they wouldn't do it. So young and dumb I just went with the flow. Does a low titer and being a healthcare worker not protected means I'm at huge risk? I asked for a hep b test but he didn't do it only the titer. I'm asking because I'm wrecking my nerves and I don't hear from my Dr until Monday ...thanks

Vintagemother, I want to get in the hospital and hope one of the two will increase my chances. I think I'll do the Cna all, do you know how much they.make at the hospitals?

I was looking to add to my Cna to get better opportun. cna ies and some advancement. I'm in Nc and we have Cna ll here and the course is $700 and the other is phlebotomy which is $400. I've been a CNA for 3 years but still barely making enough and I just want to be "OK" until I'm finished with school. If you know the benefits as far as pay and what good it'll do as far as being a nurse please let me know. Any advice is welcome TIA! Ps sorry for posting here its not that much traffic in Cna section.

The written part is easy. I failed the skills my first time but passed the second. I was really nervous. If you have the handout that will be most helpful and updated videos for your state on YouTube. All the best
