Does size really matter?

Hello everyone,

Is it true that nurses have to be a certain height and weight? I heard people say that sometimes if employers see you are too small then they think that you're not capable of handling a nursing job because nursing do requires some physical work (like helping the patients who are much bigger than you). I'm quiet small (~5 feet 85 pounds) so is this something that I should be concern about when going into nursing? Or am I just worried too much? :rolleyes: .

Well I would love to hear any thoughts you have about this.

Thanks! :p

Lot's of Asian nurses where I work. I'm 6'3" so when I hear a squeek I know that I've stepped on one of them! They do look up to me so that's good.
