Celebrities who were formerly nurses...

I thought I read that Rupert from survivor studied nursing, but I'm not sure if he ever practiced or what the deal was.

I read that Wynona Judd (the country singer) was once a nurse-- she got Hepatitis C from a needlestick injury.

Martha Ray, who passed away recently, tv, movies, known to be a big mouth, so she did polident commercials, would get off duty and then entertain the troops. She went with Bob hope on tour

When I was in the Navy at hospital corps school, we saw many training films. In one of them on how to apply wet to dry dressings, they used REAL nurses to demonstrate, one of the nurses was Shelley Long from "Cheers"! Kind of freaked us out, of course, being a government training film, it was from the late seventies.

I'm almost positive that it was NAOMI Judd who was the nurse.

I recall a Miss America Leilanie (sp?) Rae Raphco maybe 10 years ago or so, she was an RN.

You are right, it was Naomi, the mother who was an RN. She keeps her license active.

Tina Turner was a nursing assistant who was studying to be a nurse when she met Ike.

Whoops, my bad (can you tell I don't follow country music??). I read it a long time ago in People Magazine-- at least I got the Judd part right!

During my younger years I was a big Judds fan.

Now I cannot STAND 95% of country music.

Don't forget Nurse Betty:D

SORRY, I couldn't resist!

I wonder if any nurses used to be celebrities though?
