I was going to apply to for a training nursing program, but recently I have got my blood analysis from gynecologist. They found hepatitis C.
I had decided to go to a gynecologist because I have had irregular menstruation. But a nurse recommended that I do some tests because I have not been examined for a long time.
I am concerned about my future, about everything now.
I want to find out answers for some questions:
Will I be able to find a nursing job after a training program?
What is included in medical inspections for medical personal? Are there hepatitis tests too?
Should I tell in interview for a nursing position that I have got hepatitis?
