Every semester, nursing programs face the same scramble: students racing to complete immunization requirements before their clinical placements begin. Missing titer results or an incomplete TB screening can mean a student loses their rotation spot — weeks of preparation, down the drain.

At Precision Diagnostic Testing, we specialize in getting nursing students compliant — fast, accurately, and with results that clinical sites actually accept.

What Are Titers — and Why Do Nursing Students Need Them?

Titer testing measures the level of antibodies in a student's blood to confirm immunity to specific diseases. Most clinical sites and hospital systems require documented immunity before allowing students to participate in patient care.

Common titers required for nursing programs include:

• MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella)

• Varicella (Chickenpox)

• Hepatitis B

• Hepatitis A (some sites)A non-reactive titer doesn't mean a student isn't protected — but it does mean clinical sites need documentation. We provide clear, signed lab reports that nursing programs can submit directly to partner hospitals and health systems.

  QuantiFERON-TB Gold: The Modern Standard for TB Screening

  Gone are the days of the two-step TST skin test for most programs. The QuantiFERON-TB Gold (QFT) blood test is now the preferred TB screening method for nursing students — and for good reason.

  Why QFT Gold

  One visit. One blood draw.

  No second appointment needed to read results. Students get a clear positive or negative — no gray-zone interpretation issues from the skin test.

  Accepted Everywhere

  Meets OSHA & CDC guidance

  QuantiFERON-TB Gold is accepted by virtually all hospital systems, clinical sites, and nursing program accreditors as TB clearance documentation.

  
  

  For programs managing large cohorts, QFT Gold also eliminates the logistical headache of tracking who came back for their skin test reading — a huge time saver for nursing faculty and program coordinators.
