I would say I think so as I worked w/ a color blind doc.
I can’t think where it would be a problem.
I think the best answer to this question is why couldn't you? I'm a charge nurse on an ICU step-down floor and I have epilepsy. I've worked on the floors with nurses who have severe cases of diabetes that have required wearing insulin pumps; and those with debilitating cases of MS that required them to work away from the bedside, in administrative roles only. I think the biggest failure of nursing schools, in general, is that they train nurses to think the only way "to be a nurse" is the traditional 3 12-hour shifts in an acute care hospital setting. Nurses do more than just work in acute care settings. You alone understand your body's limitations and what you can or cannot do. If you're worried about colorblind affecting your safety or accuracy consider exploring the nonacute care side of nursing. There are hundreds of opportunities in things like research, school nursing, public health, home care, insurance, and case management. These people are just as much nurses as their patient-care counter parts.
