Can you still work as a nurse if you are diagnosed with Tuberculosis


Can you still work as a nurse if you are diagnosed with Tuberculosis?
I am considering going into nursing. I have been working as a psych clinician and many of my clients have TB. I am concerned about my own exposure to it. I plan to get tested, but I would like to know if I have a future in nursing if my test is positive.

If you test positive for TB, you would not be able to enter nursing, until you have taken the necessary medications, and then get retested. TB is highly contagious.
