Both Ser and estar can be used with the adjective impaciente. I thought this was the case but I have just double-checked in my Oxford Spanish Dictionary. There are many occasions when both verbs can be used but each will colour the meaning of the sentence.
If you are talking about characteristics then Ser will be used
Eres impaciente = You are impatient (Ellos) Son impaciente = They are impatient
If, on the other hand, you are talking about a situation where someone is being impacient at a particular time then you would use estar
Ex's 1 Estar impaciente por conocer los resultados = She is impacient to know the results
2 Están impacientes por que empiece el concierto = They are impatient for the concert to begin.(This uses the present subjunctive here)
The adjective and noun must agree in number but need not agree in gender here
I hope this helps 
I've only heard people use "estar" with impatience. Mainly because usually when someone says "you are impatient" they mean "right now you are being impatient."
The question you are asking is about conjugation of verbs in the "present tense", and somewhat about adjectives.
In English we conjugate "to be" with impatient as:
| I am impatient |
| You are impatient |
| He/she/it is impatient |
| they are impatient. |
In Spanish we conjugate "estar" impaciente como:
| Estoy impaciente | (I am) |
| Estás impaciente | (You (friendly) are) |
| Está impaciente | (He/she/it is (formally)) |
| Estamos impaciente | (We are) |
| Están impaciente | (They/all of you (formally) are) |
| Estáis impaciente | (You all (friendly) are.) |
In Spanish we conjugate "ser" como:
| Soy impaciente | (I am) |
| Eres impaciente | (You (friendly) are) |
| Es impaciente | (He/she/it is (formally)) |
| Somos impaciente | (We are) |
| Son impaciente | (They/all of you (formally) are) |
| Sois impaciente | (You all (friendly) are.) |
Soy Eres Es Somos Son Sois
As for gender, when it comes to conjugation gender is irrelevant. The only exception to this, though this may not "technically" be an exception, is when you are finding what is called the "past participle" of a verb. Past participles often double as adjectives. Any past participle used as an adjective will have to conform to the noun or subject it is describing in number and gender. As is the case with all adjectives capable of conforming. There are a set number of adjectives in Spanish that do not change gender when paired with nouns, impaciente is one of them.
So no, with impaciente you do not have to consider gender, you will have to consider number though. Singular, impaciente, plural, impacientes.
do we have to consider the gender in 'you are impacient'.
When use adjective, you always have to consider gender and number agreement. However, since "impaciente" has the same spelling for both female and male singular form, the resulting sentence is the same regardless of the gender of "you."
I have not done an extensive study on this, but it seems to me many adjectives ending with "-te" has the same male and female singular form: importante, interesante, suficiente.
