i have a friend who is a registered nurse in our country. she is hep b carrier. she really wants to work in usa but her being a carrier stops her from taking nclex or english exams. once, she attended a review class, someone mentioned that one cant work in america if one is a hep b carrier.how true is this? pls. share if you have any information.

Calling suzanne4, paging suzanne4....

mayflower2000, I don't know the answer to your question but I have no doubt that the poster I'm calling above does. She's very good at all things foreign. :)

Hopefully she will find this thread and answer your question or you can send her a private message.

An active diagnosis of tuberculosis, however, would be a major obstacle to finding gainful employment in the U.S.
