Vaccines you might want to do titers at the health dept most likely you will need very few of the actual shots required from the titer results. Skills kits are the medical apparatus that you utilize for your skill check offs before clinicals it’s like the IV bags gauze pads Sterile gloves etc

Truly relax they will walk you through most of your questions at orientation and they will give you plenty of time to complete it all take a deep breath this is the easy part

I got my titers done last month. I had all my vaccines. But I still got the first of 2 HEP A shots (the next shot is in 6months(20$) and I'm going to get the TDAP(60$) when I feel better(sick).

Just finished my drug test for urine plus alcohol, doing fingerprints tmrw. I'm doing CPR class this Saturday. It seems like a lot of small things to do, but it's not that bad. As far as shots, go to the Health Department, I think it's the cheapest. They will draw blood for your titers, and then you will know what you need as far as shots. That's my next step.

you all might check shot prices at CVS , Publix , etc vs Health Dept

You think it might be cheaper there? I checked CVS minute clinic, it seams expensive, but ill definitely double check. Thanks!

I only needed two but I had ins too I got both of mine from Publix I’m just saying check with them but do the titers first

For sure, I will! Thanks again! While you are here, wanted to ask, should we get scrubs before the orientation or wait until then? And also, what kind of shoes do we need, I heard it’s all white leather sneaker but shouldn’t show brand or something like that? Thanks for the info, I’m just trying to figure out the money for all this ?

You won’t need scrubs until classes start From what I remember on the shoes they need to be either black , brown or white with matching color socks but confirm that

I’m feeling overwhelmed. Before orientation we need the drug test, background check and finger prints submitted, right? But do our vaccines/titers and CPR certification need to be completed before then?

As long as the shoe is one color and the logo blends in, is that ok? Ex: Skechers/Nike logo is on shoe, but blends in because it is an all white shoe with a white logo.

You do not need the vaccines/titers and CPR cert to be done by then.

Take a deep breath relax and follow their directions to the letter. You will find that in class too , they want directions followed to the absolute letter. If you let this stress you , you will be a train wreck in classes. It’s not that bad prioritize and move on don’t make more stress for yourself. Good Luck and best wishes once you get through this you’ll be more prepared for classes. The instructors are all great the classes are great , the clinical sites are equally as good. Be ready to work and study like never before it’s a new type of curriculum that what you have been used to but you made it this far you’ll be fine. If you have a challenge go to an instructor they truly try to help as long as you put forth the effort to succeed. I wish everyone the absolute very best I’m not sure how I ended up in this forum however that is a mute point. I truly enjoyed the first semester was it a lot of work you bet it was but time flew by and anytime I needed help there were multiple sources to get it from reach out no one will think bad of trying to improve yourself just don’t be silly about it. Certainly don’t start stressing now Heartfelt Congrats to all
