I need to get a varicella titer done to enter nursing school, as well as a tb skin test...problem is I don't have insurance, or much money lol...so where can I get these tests done, how long do they take to receive results, and how much are they?

Try Concentra, they are pretty cheap with everything else. I know they only charge $65 for a physical and most other places are charging over $200.

Look at the public health department. I think cost wise they can be very competitive.

I had to have several lab tests done prior to starting class and my cost was less than $60.

You might also ask them about ability to pay. They may have some options for you.

Hope this helps.

Sorry I forgot to finish my answer

Results for the TB skin test : 48-72 hours (they will need to read)

Varicella titer: depends on lab but usually 2-5 days.

Specializes in Critical Care (ICU/CVICU).

just in case you needed a physical done as well, i only paid $35 at this chiropractor's office on fm 1960 /nw houston. here is their website.

sorry i couldn't help with the other tests, i got the varicella shot and chest x-ray, not the skin test. but since you are strapped for cash (like me) here is another *cheaper* alternative.
