Hello everyone,
Have most of you guys sent the flu shot, CPR, Fire Card and 2x2 photo directly to Rio Hondo yet. Does it have to arrive by May 8th or be sent out by May 8th? Just curious on where everyone else is at with the sending those items directly to them step.

I sent already, I did it at the post office to make sure it gets to the department. It needs to be there by may 8th not sent out by may 8th

Yes I did. I did it with tracking to make sure that it got there. The post office has been affected by covid19 also so sometimes there can be delays. However mine got there the next day with priority shipping.

You don’t need to send fire card or have flu shot. We were told orientation that fire card has been extended to August 8th because there are no classes due to covid. Also there was an email sent about not needing to have flu vaccination until new vaccination is available sometime in September.

Do we have to purchase the two books each with course point, or does purchasing course point once work?

Hey everyone,

So all my documents have completed via castle branch I also mailed the required documents. My drug test results came back today. It says result status: Negative Dilute. I called castle branch and they said it means I had too much water in my system prior to the test. I always have my hydroflask with me and drink water. Should there be a concern I’m waiting I guess to see if Rio Hondo will contact me due to the dilute part of the negative test result. What do you guys think?

nurse2brroxoxo · Apr 28, 2020

Usually when urine comes up diluted, they have you come back to do the drug screen again.

kdarling · Apr 28, 2020

Oh okay, in general would you recommend I wait for them to contact me. Or send an email asking on if anything further is required.

nurse2brroxoxo · Apr 28, 2020

So I’m not sure how that process occurs, I would just contact RG or castlebranch.

My drug test results also came back dilute negative, then RG contacted me via email.

Is anyone still waiting for CastleBranch completions? Or have documentation pending? For those of you who have completed everything did you contact RG for CRNs or were you contacted by someone? Thanks!
