My DON is 6'7, 300 pounds, bald as a cucumber, and an EXCELLENT nurse. He comes in handy.

I work in a facility that tailors to behavioral problems, and when you've got a resident who's flipping out, his stature is an asset. Also, for such a massive intimidating looking person, he's one of the most soft spoken people I've ever met. He can diffuse an outburst as quick as he can keep the person from killing the staff. He's a good nurse. Crappy administrator, but a good nurse.

Well, it's true. All he does is hide in his office doing his homework for his BSN program. He's there all the time, I think to get away from his eleven children.

i'm 6' 220# and have gotten my share of wide eyed looks when i first enter a room. even had more than a few patients comment on my size. i've had very few problems with people going into defensive mode and the few that have were mostly under the influence of something.
you already have a leg up on most by already having worked with the general public. irate people are irate people. being able to take a verbal assault, being able to listen and keeping your cool is a very handy skill to possess.
