Starting new job in hospital in the next few weeks. Can I get both TB tests done?

Hello everyone,

I'm going to start working as a college student nurses assistant volunteer at a children's hospital in the next few weeks. The deadline to turn in my vaccination paper work is the 24th of this month. one of the requirements is to have 2 TB skin tests (one within the past year, and one within 90 days of starting). Can I get both tests done in one day? Will I have to wait a week or so? Or longer? Thanks ahead of time.
No. You need to have two separate tests, this is called a "two-step" TB test.CDC | TB | Fact Sheets - Tuberculin Skin Testing for TB
