That seems to be just like my case. I am almost done with my nursing school and got dxed when I donated blood several months ago. Liver bx and symptoms picture is the same as yours. Would I get asked about it when I look for a job and do I need to report it to my employer? I am so at a loss about what to do. Thank you so much for your reply !

Thank you for the heads up. I am still thinking if I should do treatment or not .... its a tough decision to make in light of all the side effects. I don't think I have symptoms now but you never know and it is always in the back of my mind ... so that is the scary part. So I'm thinking ... and thinking ... My doc is encouraging me to start the course but don't they always. Why did your mom opt to not do it?

Thank you, thank you so much for answering ! I feel like my my whole life has been turned upside down. I have no idea now how to act around people now. If I keep quiet I feel like I'm lying, if I tell someone I am scared they would be afraid to even talk to me. Not even sure how I can meet people now. Hmm what nursing dx should I apply to myself " Ineffective coping" sounds about right :-) Do you think I should let my instructor know? In your experience how have people reacted to it? The other thing I am worried is finding a job when I graduate. It would be hard enough to find a job, on top of that who would want to hire a new grad with hepatitis.

Hi. I am in my last semester of nursing school. Three weeks ago I have found out that I have HCV when I donated blood. Not sure what to do now... Do I quit nursing now? Being a new gard is it even possible to find a job for me now? And am I safe for my patients?
