need to know
I was wondering, I am looking into a career as a nurse but want to know if somewhere along the line will I have to take a physical to check for venereal diseases? I was tested for herpes over 5 years ago and the test came back positive. I have never had an outbreak since the first initial one when i had very painful genital warts. Does this prohibit my future in wanting to become a nurse. Will I have to disclose this private information to a future employer in the medical field?
