Sizing

Hi everyone. I'm doing my first year of prerequisites for nursing and before I go any further I would like to know if there is a chance I may get turned down for a job because of my height. I'm about 4'8" and the last time this question was answered was 6 years ago. I'm not sure if anything has changed since then. Also I have small feet. I wear a size 3 shoe. I need to know if I'll be able to buy shoes that would be comfortable for me. Thanks :)

    I can't imagine someone not hiring you simply due to your height. If you can use proper body mechanics and enlist help when lifting or moving a heavy patient, you should be fine. Use stepladders when necessary. All the stuff I imagine you do every day.

    Only you know if you can find shoes that are comfortable. Everyone's feet vary, so keep trying new things to see what works.

    I think these things bother YOU more than they will bother anyone else. :)

    Highly doubt it would be an issue.

    If you can do the job, no one is going to care how tall you are.

    Trying to picture how one's shoe size is the least bit relevant....? I'm certain you already know where to buy shoes, yes?

    As for height, again, a non-issue. If you can do the job it won't matter if you're 4.5 feet tall or 6 feet tall.

    I've worked with lots of tiny nurses, you'll be fine!
