What is a surface antibody titer?
A surface antibody titer is a lab test conducted on a sample of your blood to determine if you have immunity to a specific disease. If your Hepatitis B titer is NOT positive, contact the TJC Nursing office at 903-510-2869 to receive further instructions. See an example of a compliant lab report.
Complio Account
You need to create your Complio account, purchase the “TJC Nursing Clinical Requirements Applicant Tracker” package and upload your documents before you apply.
You don't need to wait for the admission period to purchase your health requirement tracker and start submitting your documents. You can do this at any point while you work toward completing your admission requirements and prerequisite courses. In fact, the sooner you complete this, the better!
If you have a Complio account with another college or university, TJC Nursing can’t view this account and you can’t transfer your tracker from one college/university to another. You must purchase the TJC Nursing package in order to be compliant with our admission criteria.
Submitting documents to Complio does not guarantee compliance with our health requirements. All documents must be approved by Complio in accordance with TJC Nursing guidelines. Rejected documents are not accepted.
