I think it’s just a skin test. Have you had a TB skin test before?

Everytime you work in a helthcare setting you have to get it done.

I got one done already recently but shouldn’t it be good for a year?

Yea just wondering why it’s 2 instead of 1

Sometimes there can be false positives or negatives so they sometimes ask for 2 to be confident.

Thanks. Did you send all your forms to [email protected]? I sent my forms to this email and did not get a confirmation or anything. Since then I emailed them few more times and did not get a single response lol. I guess I'll go visit them personally if things don't work out since I'm on campus.

@topssure Did you ever get in contact with them? I’m having the same problem as well

They contacted me and said my TB test wasn't valid because it wasn't within the last 6 months

Yeah since I was on campus I just visited their office to sort out the problem. They didn't answer my calls or any of the emails, not sure why though because they were available at the office when I went. Wasn't a big deal and I received my awards within the same day

I emailed and they got back to me. They said that the class is full and everyone met the CTE deadline

I just emailed and they said they will be accepting off the waitlist up until August 5th-so now I'm confused.

It means if someone can no longer be apart of the upcoming class they will pull someone off the "active" waitlist but given that everyone has met the CTE deadline it is quite unlikely

Welp time for me to stop day dreaming about getting the phone call... hopefully we'll have better luck in the future and I'll catch you guys in the 2019-2020 thread.

Did anyone receive any info regarding orientation/white coat ceremony yet? Like, orientation schedules and ceremony ticket information or something?
