Tyler Junior College ADN Fall 2019

[Ang757]

Hi all! My name is Angela and I am enrolled at TJC, currently taking my pre-nursing prereqs. I plan on applying to the Fall 2019 ADN program, and I'm hoping to connect with others who share the same path.

Let's support each other and share experiences! I look forward to hearing from you!

That's great! If you are enrolled, you can go to the nursing clinic and get a paper for titers. It is about 45.00. Cheaper than doing it on your own, unless you have insurance.

Okay I’ll try that! So is it one titer or 2?

[MichellesoonRN]

Just get one titer for now. If you want to get a head start, get a titer for MMR, chicken pox, and hep b. They can do all of those with one titer. You might have immunity for all!

[cheyenne100]

Do I need that titer by application due date?

[MichellesoonRN]

You need your immunizations completed by application due date.

[cheyenne100]

On the application it says the titer is for after the series of shots?

[cheyenne100]

Sorry to ask so many questions! I don’t have anyone else to ask! and I don’t see counselor till next week.

[MichellesoonRN]

It's perfectly fine. I had nobody to ask either. I know nobody at the college ? Yes, they will ask for titers to see if you are up to date on your immunity (if you dont have to get the shots). I only suggested to get them now, so if you have to start on your hep b, you can. ?

I didnt know any of this when I submitted my application. They will give you a check off list to do once they have accepted it. If you need certain shots, they will give you a due date to have them done by.

Applications are due July 31st! I’m gonna get my titer in the morning.

[MichellesoonRN]

Good luck!!

[cheyenne100]

Thanks! Do you think that’s enough time? If I’m not immune for some reason and need the shots.

July 31st as in this month? What are the requirements on the application / website for shots?
