Colourblind

[medic999]

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:

one of my major regrets in life was that i had to work when my kids were small, i missed so much

but we needed the money at the time so at the time it was the right thing to do

I know we needed the money too:idea:

'The Nursing and Midwifery Council confirms that this should not normally

exclude you from a nursing course, however the final decision would be

down to the individual institution that you apply to. You would need to

declare your colourblindness in the relevant section of the application

form and the decision would be taken by the institution.

Now, that's not like the NMC to sit on the fence is it?

Usual 'don't involve us' attitude - let everyone else make the decisions.

At least they consistantly do it. Had similar issues with positive CRB Disclosures and HEI admission.

I asked them and they gave me a number to ring, i cant be bothered to ring to ask. Has anyone got any more info on it?

That's no attitude to have is it? Tsk Tsk. Go on pick up the phone.

Before your time, there was Maureen Lipman as an extremely annoying Beattie encouraging everyone to use the phone and more lately Bob Hoskins telling everyone 'it's good to talk', and even ET got in on the act begging everyone to 'phone home'.

I bet you'd text them though.
