I have got my blood test


I was going to apply to for a training nursing program, but recently I have got my blood analysis from gynecologist. They found hepatitis C.
I had decided to go to a gynecologist because I have had irregular menstruation. But a nurse recommended that I do some tests because I have not been examined for a long time.
I am concerned about my future, about everything now.
I want to find out answers for some questions:
Will I be able to find a nursing job after a training program?
What is included in medical inspections for medical personal? Are there hepatitis tests too?
Should I tell in interview for a nursing position that I have got hepatitis?

You do not need to disclose your status when you apply for jobs. You will not be exposing your patients in any fashion.

Good luck!

Was this a PCR? Much more accurate, had a positive screening test once, PCR was neg, just make sure the test was accurate. Good luck.
