Colourblind

Hi, i am a 16 yr old lad in the UK, i was thinking about being a Nurse (A+E) but i was wondering if my mild colour blindness will affect this?

:wink2:

i would contact your local hospital occupational health department they will have the answer for you

im not really sure about this but i seem to remember being tested for this during my assessment to become a student nurse

i suppose it depends how bad the problem is, give them a ring im sure they will help

good luck

Hi and welcome

I would suggest either getting in touch with hospital occ health (as previously suggested or the uni occ health and they should be able to give you an answer

I do believe it is not a problem and that colour blindness only affects you if you if are a paramedic. My ex was terribly colour blind and he got into nursing
