hey , i got in touch with the RCN (royal college of nursing) and they said '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. Having said that, I would doubt very much that you would be turned down on that basis. Im happy

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?

Yes i have done, thanks, i will let you know what they say

one of my reletives is colourblind and he is a paramedic

lol, i will wait for a bit then, check back in a couple of hours:rolleyes:

i only some times get mixed up on red and green sometimes, its not anything serious, any one else got anything else to tell me?

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:
