nursing admission

[PurplePhoenix]

hello i am new here and just starting my journey. I am currently applying for a nursing school and doing my requirements at the moment. Will I automatically get rejected if I tested positive on Hep C? thank you

None of the programs I've run into have requested a test for Hep C or asked about it. You shouldn't have to disclose if you have it, even to an employer, so I can't see why you'd have to for nursing school. You'd just want to take precautions obviously and opt out of any thing like the students practicing IVs on each other.

I don't see why it would matter, assuming you're not experiencing symptoms that would make school or work difficult for you. Standard precautions should be sufficient for any care given/received.
