U of AZ Interview for ASBSN!

Published

Hi!

I'm so excited. I just found out that I got selected to interview for U of A's ASBSN program! :w00t:

In the email it said to bring my top three choices for healthcare sponsors. I'm not familiar with Tucson, so I'm wondering, what would be good choices?

TIA

Mark,

Many of your questions can be answered in the BSN student handbook:

this is very helpful as i need to get going on some of this stuff and haven't yet received any more info from u of a. does anyone know what kind of cpr course i should take? i'm looking at classes held by my local red cross and there are all these options and i'm not sure which one i need to take. is the basic adult 4 hour class enough?

I suspect you are going to have to obtain AHA health care provider CPR certification. The student handbook says "health care provider" CPR is required. I'd call the Office of Student Affairs to see what they accept to meet this requirement. I'm not sure if those Red Cross classes listed above are acceptable. Usually, students take American Heart Association health care provider classes for nursing school.

Thank you for the clarification. I just spoke with Tammie in Office of Student Affairs and said that as long as it has adult and infant CPR, that's the most important thing. I am still going to do it through an AHA program, just to be safe.

So, did everybody who was waiting get in??? COngrats to those who did!

Sunshine, just make sure your CPR card says 'healthcare provider' on it.

Mark, you WILL need shot records, or titers drawn. Best to get all titers drawn at the same time, lol. And a word of advice--keep the records handy after that. You will need them for each job in your nursing career.

My titer results are in hand; but, I have no shot record for the 'other' shots I have had over the years...

So I think I will talk to my doctor and let her build one that I'll keep current from now on... And *keep* handy!!!

Yeah, there's nothing like scrambling to find shot records in boxes when you really need them. Like I was doing this weekend, lol!

Also, most people don't have the varicella titer drawn...

Varicella Zoster IgG and IgM = 5.12 = In range = positive

Varicella Zoster IgG and IgM Antibody, IgM = .39 = which is low... I'll have to see if they want me to get retested or if they want me to get chickenpox again..

Thanks

I don't think you'll need to be retested or receive the varicelle vax. IgM antibodies are the antibodies for a recent/initial immune response. Unless you had chicken pox quite recently, you won't have a high IgM level. (Think IgM, 'M' = iMMediate immune response.)

IgG is the antibody level that indicates long-term immunity.

DOH!

You mean I am going to actually have to *apply* the knowledge from those A&P classes!

(Where is that smiley for embarrassed when you need it?)

Thank you!

Yep, IgG is what they look at for long term immunity. Anything greater than 1.1 is positive on my results. So your results are great!
