Would a possible nursing student be rejected for nursing if blood test revealed antibodies to the herpes simplex 1 virus (cold sore)? >Would a possible nursing student be rejected for nursing if blood test >revealed antibodies to the herpes simplex 1 virus (cold sore)? Absolutely not. I personally know several nurses with both type 1 and/or type 2 infections. Herp infections are not a problem at all. M2 The nurse in the NICU for my baby had type 2.. they put my boy in there as a precaution (hes fine) and SO MANY nurses talked to me about it from their own personal experiences. I swear atleast 4-5 did. > Would a possible nursing student be rejected for nursing if blood test > revealed antibodies to the herpes simplex 1 virus (cold sore)? >SO MANY nurses talked to me about it from their >own personal experiences. Not sure I understand what you mean. What did they say? How'd the subject come up? What sort of experience... they all had herp? M2 YES they had it. They told me their treatments, that they had massive outbreaks from the stress of pregnancy while they were pregnant ( I had outbreaks ALOT during pregnancy).. that they have had it for 20 yrs and (since I only get them on 2 spots, and mild...) one lady told me she got them all over her crotch.. like onto her legs and everything.. things like that. One asked me how long I had had it. The people who had it knew just by the medication he was on. When my son was born, he was in the NICU because they were giving him acyclovir as a preventative ( my water broke before the c-section and I was in the middle of an outbreak) Anyways - Theres that. > >SO MANY nurses talked to me about it from their > >own personal experiences.

Erm they are gonna have to ditch about 60-80% of applicants if they do. Its not viable and I know in the UK I have seen nurses with cold sores (and hence an HSV1 infection) Tim -- When playing rugby, its not the winning that counts, but the taking apart ICQ: 5178568 I would think we'd have an even bigger nursing shortage if that were to be true. :) ar >Would a possible nursing student be rejected for nursing if blood test >revealed antibodies to the herpes simplex 1 virus (cold sore)? Hello Nospam ~ Having herpes has no bearing on whether a person can become a doctor or a nurse.
