I agree. We all face a bit of sexism as men in the nursing world but, it should be merit based. Luckily, where I work it is and I don't deal with any mockery. I have in the past but, overall, when I do my job well, all questions and speculations are dropped.
It can be hard to face adversity in the work place, and I hear ya, sometimes I just want some fellowship with guys over the (wonderful) women I work with.
