Can you be a nurse with inactive tuberculosis?

I've been tested positive for TB, got my chest xrays and doctor said it was inactive TB. I went on medication for about a year for it to kill the inactive TB. Does this have any effect on being qualified to be a nurse?
No. Different workplaces have different policies with regard to needing to take meds/how often to have CXRs etc.

At most hospitals you have to do the ninemonth course of treatment and have a clean chest film. But the drugs are the key component

So in my case, I've passed the chest xrays and been on the medication, would I be turned down for admission?

I would not know why you could be turned down. They might have stipulations such as yearly xrays. but other than that you should be fine

Nurses that I've worked with in this situation are required to have yearly chest x-rays in lieu of annual TB screening.Chase your dreams!

honestly, i know a lot of nurses, including me, that have inactive TB. it's no big deal. You get the cxr, take the 9 months of inh therapy and know that you can't get any mantoux's in the future. There is no reason why this would jeopardize your job.

A relative of mine has inactive TB and she is a nurse. In fact, I saw a statistic some where that said the probability of contracting TB over the course a medical professionals career is very high. Back to the relative. She contracted it at an early age and had her entire nursing career.

Yes you can. As long as its INACTIVE.

hi iam also a nurse, I completed a six month treatment of 4 drug combinations with tuberculosis. my xray from 1 1/2 year ago had the same content and had no changes. it was said that it was an inactive TB. can I still continue with an INH medication for another 3 months? to complete a 9 month treatment?
