Please help !! Please help me ...

Hi every one !

I am doing a Foundation of Nursing Course. I want to work at Nursing Home after i graduate. I know clearly that i am going to work face to face with my patients in the future. However i actually have had a Hepatitis B.

Can i still become a nurse ???

One more thing, i am now studying at University of Western Sydney , at Sydney , Australia.

I am so worried now.

Thanks,

Hepatitis B is most commonly spread by exposure to blood or other body fluids such as through sexual contact. You can't spread it through casual contact such as touch. Kissing, hugging, and even breastfeeding are all safe (although I very much doubt you'll be kissing or breastfeeding anyone in a clinical environment). I don't know how it works in Australia, but as a US based RN I had to go through physicals for employment and for school to make sure I was immunized and that it was safe for both myself and the patients I would have contact with. You might want to talk to your doctor and whoever is responsible for compliance/health at your school about your condition and your goals so that they can give you the best guidance going forward.
