hello :) i am a student nurse in korea. i am planning to go to the states or Canada to finish my nursing education and work there next year. here's my question : if i had suffered from child TB when i was before 4 yrs old (my lung x-ray picture shows the trace) but have been clean(healthy) eversince. (i am now 25yrs old) can i still become a canadian (or US) RN and work there?? i am worried because a friend of mine told me that if someone is PPD positive, that person cannot work at american hospital !! that american or canadian hospital will not hire a nurse with TB past-history!!! is that a true???? plz answer my question !!!! plz
