Nurses with Hepatitis B in the Philippines?

[jbauer87]

Just graduated last March 2008 and took the boards this June. The thing is, I'm a chronic carrier of Hepatitis B. I already searched the forums and from what I've read, hospitals in the USA, Canada, UK etc do hire nurses with Hepatitis B. But information with regards to hospitals here in the Philippines isn't quite as definite. From the few replies I've read, hospitals here seem to be stricter in hiring nurses with Hepatitis B and Hepa B test is one of the requirements for employment.

Anyone know any exact info if hospitals in the Philippines are hiring nurses with Hepatitis B? Anyone with Hepatitis B that was hired recently? Obviously, hospitals have different requirements but it would be nice to hear some info about the topic.

Thanks!

thank you for this site... i now have the courage to face my condition. i was diagnosed hepa b carrier last 1998 for my high school medical requirements. i never took that seriously until i studied nursing.i felt my world collapsed when i realized that being a carrier will be a hindrance for my dreams. after i graduated and passed the PNLE last 2008 i never applied for any nursing jobs for fear of rejection. but after reading all your posts here. this gave me a new beginning. I've been praying for years that God will answers my request. and this is it... I will never be defeated by hepa b.

Hi everyone, im glad i found this site, im also a nurse, passed the nle last july 2010, im also a chronic carrier of hepa b, it came from my mom. i found out when i was 2nd yr 2nd sem when my prof in biology said that when we donate a blood we will have a additional points in in our exam, there was a screening before the donating of blood then after a few days i got the result the doctor talked to me regarding what they found, that time i was so depressed, starting to eat veges and fruits, my mom was surprised when she saw that i am now eating veges then i told her what happened. Despite of that my mom told me to pursue my course but for me i want to shift to hrm. And eventually i graduated and passed the board for my parents. I decided to apply for riyadh, i undergo PE they found that i am hepa b positive, even though i know it so long about my situation i still cried when i remember my parents. The doctor asked me why i still pursue it even i knew it before i enter 3rd yr college. I know that God has his own reason why he gave this to us,. Even I didn't pursue my career in hospital setting because of afraid in discrimination I still work in other field of nursing. I am now a Medical Biller, and I know in myself that i will be successful in my life even im not working in hospital setting as a nurse. So maybe people who have this disease maybe you should find an alternative job in nursing career. But still im searching for a doctor who will give me a concrete advise. Thanks a lot!.. And i know God will guide us... Godspeed... :)
