Can a carrier of tb become a registered nurse?

Latent TB: I assume you are referring to latent TB or TB infection (vice TB disease or active tb). I don't know if you would be required to have the latent TB infection treated or not. Treatments include: isoniazid, rifapentine, Rifampin or combinations. The big problem would be if you had TB disease.
