i've heard of nursing students having Hep B. they are allowed to ..

be nurses but are there certain fields that they would not be allowed to work in after they graduate? Just curious. Kinda sounds scary to me. Having a nurse with an infectious disease an all.

Ok speaking from what I have seen of the girl in my class. She is the kind of person who is rebelious and I have seen her not use universal percausions especially washiung hands after using bathroom. That is scary. And The reason we all know she has the hep B is because our school requires you to have a Hep B vaccine before you are allowed to do clinicals and she was ranting and raving about hwo she does not wnat a vaccinne. Well the school told her No vaccinne, no clinicals. She she said she had Hep B. and made a big fuss about it. She ended up having to get a doctors note satting she had Hep B and that she was not receive the vaccine. The school said she was allowed ot do clinicals.

I would say if a nurse used all the universal percausions and was always careful then I have no problems with them haivng an infectious disease but if they are unruly and do not wnat to follow the rules and they have the infectious disease, then yes it is scary.

Thanks. Yeah, I think taht hep B is less of a threat anyway cuz people can get the vaccine. That way no one will be affected anyway even i there were an exchange of blood or whatever accidentally. As long as people get the vaccine they will be immune to the hep B virus. Thanks for your comment.

I know that. sheesh. Ok, all I wnated to know was if anyone here heard of similiar experiences. It is not ME making the descision to not let this girl do cliniclas if she does not furnish proof that she has either had the vaccine or gets it. It is the school. I just wanted to knwo if anyone else heard of that. Please stop jumping down my throat. I do not make the rules ya know.
