UTA Fall 2013

About immunizations (on-campus BSN), if your titer comes out negative for HepA, will I have to get the series of vaccines all over again? With HepA, because it is 2 vaccines, the second cannot be given until 6 months after the first...if I get my first vaccine this week, what happens due to the fact that I will have to wait 6 months to get the second vaccine (I'll already be in nursing school though)?

If you had the titer showing immunity, you should not have to be immunized again. I have not had the third shot of the series yet (TwinRix - Hep A/B combo) and cannot have it done until October. I asked the CON about this, and I was told that it is fine as long as you are in the process.

My 2nd one is due in October and I was told that was fine as long as you have started the series. I think Hep B has to be complete though.

Anyone find out anything yet about the wait-list? Anyone get called?

Nothing yet. And I've emailed them and I am told that if they have available spots that the next person on the list will be called. So... nothing.

BTW if its the same adventist school I think your talking about their passing grade is a B unlike UTA's C so getting in isnt the problem its staying in

That is the same school yes. There policy change mid-year last year. That plus some other reasons are why I would rather go to UTA or TCU.

Lharvick-What department do you work in a Cook?

PICU. Working right now as a matter of fact.

I've been working at Cooks for a year now and as PRN at THR Southwest for 3 months since I'm not taking classes right now.

So you have been wait listed twice and partnered? I thought partnered applicants were preferred first..

Yes and no. Employees of the hospital they work at are ranked and chosen from that applicant pool first (typically each hospital has 10 spots reserved for their employees). Once their hospital is filled the remaining employees/applicants are put in a mass pool with all the other partnered applicants that didn't get a spot plus the non-partnered applicants. From that new pool they reevaluate the list and then fill remaining spots of other hospitals that either didn't have enough employees qualify or apply and they are needing to fill all remaining spots. That is were non-partnered applicants have a chance of getting in the academic partnership program over partnered especially if the non-partnered has a higher GPA plus the other qualifying factors.
