Anyone know how much it costs to have the titers drawn for the nursing school admittance vaccinations?

ck29_2000 35 Posts Aug 12, 2009 Do you have time to volunteer? I'm volunteering at a local hospital and they ran my titers/blood work and caught me up on vaxes that I was weak in for free. All that was "required" was a 60hr commitment. I haven't been able to find a job that works around my school schedule so I'm volunteering for "experience" on my nursing app.

I have 4 kids I have to work around so I would just have to see what I could do.
ck29_2000 35 Posts Aug 12, 2009 Serves me right for using the active topics button. I'm volunteering at a university hospital but I live in NE, didn't realize this was a state forum, sorry. I have two kids myself but they only "require" 2 hr time blocks, you can do more but that is their request. Most of the hospitals around here do it, maybe check your local websites and then call their volunteer services and see what their policy is?

matchsticktgt, LPN 173 Posts Aug 13, 2009 I found that it was cheaper to get all my immunizations again (except the chicken pox) than to get titers drawn to prove I was immune...I was due for a Tetanus anyway, and had not had the Hib
vicg1974 8 Posts Aug 13, 2009 Yeah, I plan to get all immunizations again except MMR because I'm breastfeeding and can't have the rubella vaccine.
