Your tb and physical should be good. The only thing with the tb could be if you've had a 1 vs 2 step test. My physical was for a WI school and while it looked detailed, it was a simple in and out appt. Ours had crap like vag exam, which personally to me my lady parts has NOTHING to do with my ability to go to school. But all n all I did it with my yearly pap exam n that was it. That was a year ago and now the school has totally gotten rid of the physical requirement.
my physical for the RN program consisted of BP, Pulse Ox, height, weight, Dr looking in my eyes, ears, throat, feeling glands, hitting my knees with the lil hammer LOL and asking me to stand up and "trying" to push me over with one finger..... NO vag exam! why on earth would they require that?? oh, and then the Dr asked me if I thought I was able to do the program, I said "yes" and he signed off on my physical.
I'm sure you will be fine :)

Hi, well im currently working on all my prereqs for the Nursing Assistant program at my local vo tech college! I got my Tdap Shot, my menengitis shot, sent my background check, took CPR, only thing left is The Dreaded Physical and TB test!!! I am a little nervous that i might fail the physical because i have mild TMJ, wich causes a few balance issues, (barely noticable and hardly nothing)! My question is how strict are these physical exams for this? Is it just a "your good" get in, get out quick general kind of physical,or a detailed kind of physcal when the doctor makes you stand up and flex, run on a treadmill, draw blood, prostate exam and everything?? Another question is when the program ends in 6 weeks, and the facility hires me on, will they make me take another physical and another TB test, or is the one i took 6 weeks prior still valid for the whole year?
Thanks, and yes i am a male by the way lol!!!
