Hep A - will I still be able to be a nurse?

I am applying to a nursing program and realize there are plenty to do to prepare. I just realized I had better as this question and hold my breath until I hear from some of you on the forum.

About fifteen years ago, I had Hep A. No fun at all, of course, but the worst for me is not being able to donate blood, marrow or organs.

Will schools and hospitals allow me to proceed with my training to be a nurse with this in my medical history?
It should not be a problem since Hep A is not a chronic form of hepatitis

Even if it was chronic, it would still not be a problem.People with chronic diseases can become, and practice as, nurses.

I've had Hep A and it never was remotely considered an issue.

Hep A is not a chronic condition. You get it, get over it, and thats it.

I believe that you will be absolutely fine.

Should not be a problem, as long as you don't have any dire symptoms now. Many people have Hep A and get over it, though I was told you can't get a vaccination for this.Just declare you have had it and follow universal precautions when treating patients.Would not worry about it too much.

whew!! I believe I am just a few months from entering NS and I was dreading looking at your replies LOL thanks much. I will report my medical history and move on. Thanks everyone :-)
