Does your scolio ever interferes with your job as an RN? or daily activities at all? If not, I don't see why you can't pass your medical. take care of your health, don't smoke, drink, or stay up late. think happy thoughts...that will do you good ;-) goodluck! :nurse:

dude...it's totally up to you, lol. i won't recommend it if you are close to your medical exams/check ups for u.s. embassy interview. you want to have a clean bill of health, right? study says..people who don't have enough rest or sleep, tend to get sick easily...you're a nurse, im sure you knew that :-)

i do stay up late too, but not all the time!

Well, no. It isn't that bad. Thanks so much, RNHawaii34! That makes me feel so much better. :wink2:

If you have no restrictions with working now, then it should not be an issue.

i heard that if you turned out to be hepa-b positive chances are you will not be able to work abroad. how true is this?

An infectious disease gives immigration a red flag. However, only the doctor conducting the medical exam can answer your health-related questions, and only the adjudicating officer can approve or disapprove your application based from immigration laws.

i am a hepa-b screening positive.. i had my hepa profile done 4 years ago and my gastro told me i am an active chronic carrier. this condition was never a hindrance to my work as a staff nurse here in my hospital. i am working for a year now. they accepted me to work even with this condition. i can say that i am healthy because i dont feel anything wrong at all.

but this has been bothering me for 4 years now.. my father needs to undergo angioplasty and some other procedures and my family cannot afford it right now so i am really in a hurry to work in us. my problem is if i can ever make it there. i passed cgfns and ielts this year, and i filed for visa screening 2 weeks ago.(thanks to my uncle who paid for the expenses) can some one tell me frankly if i can ever work as a nurse anywhere in the us? thanks a lot.
