I, too, get tired sometimes :zzzzz, but otherwise everything's fine. There does seem to be a lot of emphasis on the difficulties of the training and the actual Nursing career, itself. With this in perspective, I have decided to do the "online" RN program -despite the controversy- and go at my own pace . Then, career-wise, I figure if I can cruise by being a Home Health RN, it might be a bit more practical for my condition and those I work for. I'm really looking forward to being an RN, and if possible, I would like to be in an environment that works for me and others as well. Thanks again, and good luck to you too!

Well, I did as you-all told me and contacted the Nursing School about the issue. I just got the response. Although it took a while, the response was such a relief that I thought I'd share it will all of you: Their response was so reassuring, and you all have been so helpful in answering my query. It makes me all the more happy and proud to hopefully, someday join the ranks of such professionals!

Thanks again ya¡¦ll! I¡¦ll take all that into consideration. :) Unfortunately, Hepatitis B is something I currently have , although on a small scale ¡Vor so I¡¦m told. I¡¦m still learning about the virus and all it entails, and what can be done to ¡conquer¡¨ it. In regards to nursing school and rest, well... from my observation, people seem to carry the darnedest loads while trudging through nursing school. If rest is the only way out, I¡¦ll even consider stretching my training a couple of years, if that¡¦s reasonable. :chair:

Thanks! I'll call the Nursing Director of my school and ask if the Hep shot series is optional. That would clear that up. You-all are the best!

Whew! What a relief! Thanks for your response. :) I was worried there for a bit. I must confess, though, that does leave me with another question. I understand that I am ¡not required to disclose this fact to anyone¡¨. But, nursing schools have stated: ¡Once admitted to the Nursing Program, you must provide Hepatitis Immunity Verification¡¨ (amongst other things). How do I respond to this? If I can not provide this particular verification, wouldn¡¦t they just automatically deny my admission in to their programs? I mean, when they ask for my hepatitis immunity verification, do I simply respond, ¡I decline to provide that information¡¨? :imbar Sorry, I just need some help to understand the situation better. Thanks again for your help!

Howdy folks, I'm considering studying to be an RN, but I have Hep B. Am I disqualified? I see that students have to be vaccinated, so I figure I'm out. Please tell me if I still have a chance to join all you professionals. Thanks!
