Titer tests

Published

Specializes in CNA.

Hello, I got accepted in the LPN/LVN program and is required to have a titer test  done for mmr, chicken pox and hep b. My issue is I am a hep b carrier but is going through treatments, heavy monitoring and my load is undetectable. I am wondering how my hep b issues affect the nursing journey or application that I am trying to accomplish? Does anyone here have  experience? I am quite nervous about this issues. Thank you in advance

They are asking for titres to see if you are immune to hep B. If you aren't, they will ask you to get a vaccine series. Having had hep B, you are probably (definitely?) immune. There's nothing to worry about. Just get your titre. You don't have to explain anything about your treatments unless they ask. If they need more information, they will ask. You'll explain it then.
