Can one become a nurse if one has Genital Herpes?

[Serenity9595]

My friend and I are wanting to join the nursing program at our local community college and she may have genital herpes. She is still awaiting the test results. We are really wanting to do this together for one anothers support, but is it possible to become a nurse if she does have genital herpes?

Please reply

I don't know of any field of nursing that involves rubbing your uncovered perineum against a patient's, so I don't anticipate it'd be a problem. unquestionably, at the beginning, I was going to offer my sincere advice. However, as I read the entire post I couldn't control. Lmao!
