Are women who are married less likely to be bullied than a single woman with no kids??

So, the lady was right when she told me men don't date girls like me? I guess I deserved that insult amongst others

Her aim was probably to get under your skin. Perhaps she's jealous? Or, hiding insecurities of her own? Nursing and nursing school will produce very stressful situations/atmosphere which may cause some folks to behave like heathens. Her brash comments are her problem, not yours. You weren't the first, and you won't be the last! Keep moving. You know who you are;)

Dont be the victim, her own insecurities are at play here. Review your own actions and see if you have caused any of this, if you are sure you have not then do not pay mind to anything they say. I am young, single, and have no children and I have never been bullied at work (or anywhere), and I would not allow it to happen.

Being married with no kids and not wanting kids is quite unpopular with some people and while I haven't been bullied about it, people tend to think I should work extra as much as possible. No thanks, love my time off!

I don't understand why your choices as to starting or not starting a family should have anything to do with it. People are always looking for someone ELSE to work extra; I doubt your personal situation has much to do with it.
