Published

Hi there! I haven’t seen a thread for this upcoming Spring 2020 (that includes UIW) so I decided to create one!

has anyone heard anything??

aside from receiving an email to be fingerprinted from UIW, I haven’t heard anything else.

has anybody heard any other news????

so neither AHA nor ARC specify pediatrics because the course is adult/child/peds. so if it’s specific, it’s the wrong one. the one for health care professionals is what you need. that’s strange that you couldn’t find a simple first aid course. who are you planning to get cert from?

If I search for first aid on red cross I get the option for adult and pediatric cpr/aed or adult crp/aed. I did bls for health professionals.

search “aha heartsaver first aid” or just click the link: https://ahainstructornetwork.americanheart.org/AHAECC/classConnector.jsp?pid=ahaecc.classconnector.home&courseid=1-6AA6JK&language=1001&_ga=2.152140537.1173791445.1568655307-910083669.1568172624 and enter your zip. you’ll get a list of places and prices so you can shop around. I think ARC just wants to up sell you ?

Hey! So when and who did you ask when you mentioned that you weren't going to be done with the hep b vaccine? If my titer is negative I was told that I need to get booster and test again. Eunice told me it is okay, but I'm a little worried about it ?.

Hello! I spoke to Dr. Davila and she told me what to do. She said if it came back negative to start the series right away. I spoke to her in the beginning of August! Getting my second shot this week! I worried about it too like crazy! But as long as you start it (if by chance you aren’t immune) you should be fine!

Hey guys! Are y’all doing first aid online? I didn’t see any that was in person that didn’t include adult first aid. None of the ones I found had Healthcare providers with first aid

I did a portion online and then there is an actual class portion to get the certification. The class was blended, but I only had to stay through the first aid portion.

Okay. That's great then ! I spoke to her last week as well and she said it wouldn't prevent me from starting class. Everything is so definitive on the acceptance letter lol. Thank you for letting me know ?. I always worry about everything so I just want to make sure that it is okay to get it redone. There is a hep b series called heplisav-b that can be done in 2 vaccines a month apart so I may just do that since it is quicker. I should've done this sooner!

So did you get the vaccine as a kid and it came up negative for your first titer? I am just praying I won't need to have it redone, but I won't find out until next tuesday ?.

I just paid the deposit and confirmation fees. How did you all set up the UIW email account? Do they send a separate email?

A separate email. It took a couple of days for me to be able to use it.

I don't know about anyone else, but waiting to hear back from UTHSCSA is KILLING. ME.

On a side note, if any of you has a mom that does eyebrows, she was talking about your acceptance to UIW to my coworker.

Congrats to the girl with the proud mom!
