Moral character

Published

Some states require the submission of a 'declaration of good moral character/turpitude' form for licensing/practicing and I was curious if Tennessee has such a requirement?

I can't date this dude.

He has hypertension.

What a jerk, can you BELIEVE it???

Oh no! Be careful! You may catch it! And even if youu don't, that dude will suck away your soul! Like a black whole! HTN is An abomination unto God I tell you!

But on a serious note. Unless it's a highly contagious illness, or violating policy to be at work in the first place (ie. The flu), then i don't see how this is relevant to patient care at all. If she passed her pre-employment physical, or was simply not asked about her condition, she's not obligated to tell anyone. I have early onset Parkinson's and ADD. I did disclose this to the doctor the physical, but my direct employer is not obligated to know, unless the medications stop working and I became a safety risk. IT bothers me that having any illness would make OP think it's a moral issue. Are you even a nurse?

After reading thru the posts I agree with those who think this is not a fellow nurse and perhaps not even anyone in healthcare. If they are still reading this I want to let them know that Hep C is now curable. The old meds had about a 67% cure rate and the newest ones have a 90% cure rate. Also it is possible for HIV patients on antivirals to have no detectable virus found in their blood. There is hope for a cure.
