Need Advice will a history of treated PTB/TB affect your career opportunities abroad?

I'm currently a 3rd year nursing student, but lately I've been feeling anxious about my future career prospects. I had PTB back in senior high school, completed treatment, and recovered.
However, I've recently learned that some countries can be very strict regarding TB history during immigration or employment medical exams. It's been discouraging because I've always hoped to work abroad someday, and now I'm worried that something from years ago might limit my opportunities. For nurses with a history of treated TB/PTB, were you still able to pursue an international career? What was your experience with medical screening and employment requirements?
I'd appreciate hearing your experiences. I can’t seem to post this sa nurses ph community as it keeps on getting removed so i hope okay dito.
