********* Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I'm planning to start school again in a few months. I'll have one year of pre reqs, then I'll apply (and hopefully be accepted to) nursing school next fall. In all my research, I haven't come across any recomendations or requirements for vaccinations/immunity requirements. I'm in Michigan, if that makes a difference. Anyone have any idea what they'll require? TIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjbeach Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 If you haven't had chicken pox they'll check your titer, you may need it. In 1992 when I was in school it was hard to get and I almost did not get into my peds rotation/clinical because my titer was low but the theory was "...as long as I had an immunity show up on titer" I could proceed. (I also think this was very political because it should have been addressed sooner. I was some oddball case. But I was seething. If I had not gotten into that clinical i would have had a delay in graduation... so they let me in.) I was finally vax'd for it in 1999.

Perry Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 The specifics will vary from school to school. I can't copy and paste this, but here is an example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlebug42 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I didn't go to nursing school but I work for a hospital and before I got my job, I was tested for immunity to some diseases. I remember that I had to get another measles shot because they determined that I was not immune. I am required to get TB tests yearly. I have no patient contact and the rules are stronger for those that do particularly those who work maternity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
