I am a current student in the SDN Fall 2015 cohort. Regarding Hep B series, we were told at orientation that as long as it was in progress, it is fine. What should you being doing now: Get your USF health email. Once that is active, get a certified profile account. Then upload your immunization documents. Certified profile will review your records and tell you exactly what vaccinations and titers you need. I was fully vaccinated as a child: complete MMR, Hep B, chickenpox vaccine and everything else. The only titer I had to have drawn was Hep B. My advice is to upload your documents and see exactly what you need. Otherwise you may be making multiple doctor visits and drawing titers that you do not need. Certified profile takes about 24 to 72 hours to review you records. Finally, for the TB test, they accept the TB skin test or the QuantiFERON-TB blood test. If you have to have titers drawn, you may want to do the blood test, otherwise you have to go back in 48 to 72 hours to have the skin test read. Hope this helps.

USF has changed the admission process...the essay is being replaced with an interview. See the nursing admission web page for all the changes.

Beginning in 2017, second degree students will only be admitted in the spring. See the USF nursing admission web page for the specific on all the changes.
