I really need to find answers to my question. i am new here and i would very much appreciated if everybody or anyone could give advice regarding my dilemma. I am a newly Registered Nurse. and seeking for a hospital job but i am afraid to push through my goal to apply as staff nurse because i was diagnosed to have minimal pulmonary TB when i was 20 yrs. old then i took prophylaxis for 6-8 mos. and its already a pulmonary scar. i dont know if could they hire me regarding my health historycould any one give some advice or information if i could still apply for a job even going to Us or other country? thank you.
As long as it is not an active PTB (and it's not anymore), then no problem.
I also have the same case with you. So how are you now were you able to work in a hospital?
thank you for your reply.. yes i was able to work in a government tertiary hospital now but its only a volunteer for 6 mos. im going to end my training @ aug. they dont asked for medical check up.. my ptb heals years ago... but im stil confused and thinking if i had already a scar can i still able to work abroad? how about you? what is your case about ptb? are you from phil? are u working from a hospital now?
I passed the medical exam... Fit to work... However because of the scar i was required to have a clearance from a pulmo doctor of which i was issued. I even asked the doctor if i still have a chance to work abroad considering my medical hx, and gave me a positive answer, all i need to secure is a clearance that i underwent the 6mos tx plus the negative latest sputum result. However i already gave up nursing, retrogression in the US isindefinITE... and i need to earn a living... Good luck drin!
Gosh! We are on the same boat. I just finished my 6-month drug treatment last june 3. I am really afraid to apply as a staff nurse because of the fear being rejected the moment they will find out my xray result. I hope and pray that the hospitals in here will give me an opportunity to work as a great nurse. :)
