Re: Is it possible for me to become a nurse even I have hepa
Nursetobe,
How wonderful you want to go into nursing! First of all, your condition is serious when it comes to healthcare and your work. The laws and protocols vary across the country, according to state, so you MUST do more research into what is needed by you into these areas. You will not get any easy answers from this Forum. I believe full disclosure is in order but to whom, when, and where will depend on the laws and protocols.
You cannot "hide" this disease as someone suggested. You must bear the responsibility of what may or may not happen as you care for patients. You cannot put your patients at risk.
Good luck, and I wish you well!!!
Peace,
Skyla

Please advise.
