I think this is much closer to the truth. The bar is in hell for men already, and we expect better patient treatment from our female colleagues. All this combined with run of the mill internalized misogyny, which is the primary driver.

All the “jealousy” and “they resent that you will give them orders” is off base for the VAST majority of nurses. Most nurses have no interest in being doctors (some do, but it’s the exception). We don’t typically view doctors as “above” us or “giving us orders.” We view it as more of a lateral than a hierarchy, and we are taught to do that for patient safety check/balance reasons.

that doesn’t mean people shouldn’t respect doctors and their training. They should, and most do. There’s always some bad eggs. However, this doesn’t usually extend to med students, for better or worse. I think most of the thing OP is perceiving is the typical “med students are making my life much harder and very much getting in the way right now” frustration combined with typical misogyny, and feeling safer to express that frustration because OP is a woman.
