Medication Immunization Record: Fill & Download for Free

Basic eating and cooking implements. I recommend a bowl, fork, spoon, mug, and medium-size tupperware. If you plan to cook more often, then bring whatever you need. You likely won’t need these things often, but when you need them, you really need them.Shower caddy and shower shoes. Have a waterproof container for your shower supplies, and flip-flops/slides to keep your feet clean.Slippers. Even if you don’t wear them at home, they’re invaluable in college. Most floors aren’t very clean, so it’s a good idea to put something between your socks or barefeet and the floor. Slippers are also great for running quick errands in or near your building, and for fire drills.Batteries, adhesives, pliers. You don’t really notice how much you need batteries until you don’t have them. This is another thing you don’t need often but will occasionally need badly. Adhesive of some kind (tacks, pins, tape, power hooks, power strips, whatever your school approves) are great for hanging up decorations, organizational aids, towels, mirrors, etc.Whatever your room doesn’t come with. For most colleges, there’s some way to see what a freshman dorm looks like. Investigate and figure out what it doesn’t come with. Do you need to buy a desk light? A mirror?Important documents and medications. Bring proof of insurance, bring passport/green card/identifying documents. Bring medical histories and immunization records. Bring any prescription medications you need (and make sure you transfer the prescription, especially if you’re crossing a state line). Bring basic over-the-counter remedies. I recommend whatever pain medication works best for you, band-aids, cold medicine, cough drops, (you WILL get a cold at some point freshman year, and likely more than once), allergy pills if necessary, etc.An understanding of how to get money. Is a branch of your bank in the area? Do you have debit? Credit? Both? What will your parents contribute?A sleeping bag/yoga mat. If you plan to have any friends come visit and spend the night, it’s great to have something for them to sleep on.A small, effective wardrobe. Avoid dry-clean only if possible. It’s a good idea to have a professional looking interview outfit (blazer, suit, w/e), a more formal look (the same suit if you’re a guy, probably a nice dress if a girl), and something to go out in (less necessary).Luggage you can easily get back and forth (this is especially important if you have to fly home). Don’t only bring your stuff in the huge suitcases, try bringing a duffel or smaller carry-on suitcase with you. If you go somewhere for the weekend or home for a holiday, you’ll definitely want something portable.An understanding of basic life skills— how to have arguments like an adult, how to handle financials, how to cook/clean/do laundry/dishes, how to navigate a city.A portable charger. Depending on where you’re moving, a portable charger can be essential or just convenient. It’s a great thing to have in a new city, as otherwise you’re lost as soon as your phone dies.A card holder that attaches to your phone. Lanyards make you look like a dumb freshman, but you really do need a good way to keep track of your student ID. I lost mine twice in 2 weeks and quickly started using one of these.

For our three children, we had a wonderful pediatrician who was very personable and always made time to talk with the kids, treating them like individuals. We also appreciated that her fees were reasonable.One day, we received notice that our doctor was moving from her modest office to a brand new posh building complete with valet, or paid parking. The suite had an enormous salt water aquarium filled with tang, puffer fish and striped eels (I’ve come to think of expensive fish tanks in a doctor’s office as an ominous sign).The new office was across town but we hung in there for a bit, soon to discover that we were charged for the copies of immunization records we used to get for free. We also noticed a pattern with the visits: our beloved pediatrician would enter the room like she was shot from a cannon, give a cursory exam and dispense a prescription based on symptoms listed on the intake form. We couldn’t get a word in edgewise before her hand was already on the door to leave. When we persisted in asking a question, she would half turn back toward us while keeping her hand on the door lever.We started referring to her as “Dr. Door Knob.”Visits went from 8–10 minutes to about 90 seconds.We assumed the change in character and practices was the result of some monetization seminar and the cost of feeding eels.When we received a marketing survey sponsored by the doctor, we answered candidly and were surprised to receive a terse call from an office administrator.We decided maybe it was time to find a new pediatrician.The last straw came when we requested transfer of our medical records and the former pediatrician refused to send them. Instead, we received a call telling us that we had an appointment for a checkup that we hadn’t scheduled.We canceled the appointment and again requested the medical records transfer.We received another uncomfortable call from the administrator asking if and why we intended to change physicians.When we explained our reasons once more, the administrator informed us that there would be a $100 fee to transfer the records. Initially, she seemed to imply that the fee would be per child. When we baulked, she relented to the single fee of $100.We made the switch and never looked back.

I wouldn’t ask him for anything..I ordered my kids SS cards and their birth certificates so that I’d have them..it’d be best to do the same to avoid the bs from the husband..no judge will order him to hand them over but will suggest that you get your own..more than likely, your husband is only doing that to get a rise out of you or as retaliation(which is sad because kids are involved and used as pawns) and it’s working to his advantage..cut the strings and do for yourself and your kids so that he doesn't have that control over you..cover ALL your basis and that includes kids medical cards, immunization records and whatever necessities you need for the kids..act as if you’re starting over as a new parent and get the basics..also get some kind of custody order going in case he tries to pull something and trust, it will happen..remember, you’re doing this for the good and protection of the kids but don’t keep the kids away from him or talk badly of him despite the pettiness he’s pulling..extinguish that fire and live life for your kids
