TB TEST RESULTS!!!!

Hello,

Ok I was originally born in Croatia Europe and moved here when I was 9 in 1996. While living in Croatia I was exposed to TB and my TB results always come up positive but I have always had a clear x-ray. Its dormant in me I guess since I was exposed.

Is this going to be an issue with getting accepted into the nursing program???? I am reading the instructions for the acceptance into the program for my college and it states you need a negative result on your TB, WELL i ALWAYS get positive and then have to do an X ray...AM I GOING TO GET ACCEPTED??????? IM WORRIED NOW!!!

HELLPPP

    While I can't speak for your program, generally speaking, a positive TB PPD test with a clear CXR means you're clear of active TB. That specific combo should be all you need for entry to school from that aspect of things.

    If you have a positive skin test but a clear x-ray, you should be fine. Contact your school's nursing program for the most accurate information.
