Re: PPD Test Positive on clinicals
usually with an hx of BCG vaccine, they skip the mantoux test all together and just go with a CXR... that's the way it's been at the hospitals i've worked at, i work with a ton of nurses from the carribean and the phillippines who have had the BCG vaccine and they are cleared to work after CXR....
i would go and ask the occupation health nurse at this hospital what their policy is for people who have had the BCG vaccine, and also maybe try to get with your PCP and get them to vouch for you....
good luck!
