Again, show me a source for your original claim that female nurses have to prove to be more competent while male nurses can get away with not looking competent. Because I’ve seen otherwise in my own experiences working for ten different hospitals and CC ambulance units.

And most of the glass ceiling research, as far as nursing goes, that I’ve seen highlighted in the Methods, such as a notable paper on JAMA, didn’t account for hours worked, time off, and so forth when relating to promotions. Plus, every unit I worked for had female nursing managers and administrators. Again, my anecdotes don’t mean much as a representation of the entire world, nor does yours.
