Had latent TB in my teens how will this affect me in nursing?

I previously was diagnosed with latent TB when I was 13 or 14. I took isoniazid for several months. I should be starting my nursing program in the fall. For the medical exam should a negative chest x-ray suffice? Or will they need to see the history of me taking the isoniazid?
For me, all I had to do was provide a negative CXR. I never took any medicine for my TB exposure though. Dr. said it wasn't needed. :/

i have this too. Your employers will just require a chest x-ray every 1-3 years.

Comment:
Ok cool. I was just worried I would have to show them my medication history from 10 years ago!
