I can't be a nurse?

Nurses General Nursing

Published

I finally finished my prereqs and got accepted to the clinical portion. I was reading through the requirements before I can start, and one of them is the Hep B vaccine. And in bold prints, it states that all requirements must be completed.

I've been a Hep B carrier all my life and cannot take the vaccine. Obviously, I have no use for it. Does this mean my dreams and hard work for my 3.99 becomes wasted?

I was so overjoyed this past week knowing I got accepted, and am now quite depressed. I'm afraid to call my school to ask, because it would just crush me when they tell me, "Sorry, if you have Hep B ... you can't be a nurse"

Can anyone tell me "You fool, if you are a carrier, than they will just waive that requirement!!"

Good Luck, charge full speed ahead now.....don't stop till you collect that nursing sheepskin.
