Nurse Jackie! From Nurse Jackie

Maggie from Chicago Med.

Nurse Jackie! Ok yea she's addicted to prescription medicines but I love that she's very straight forward and knows her Sh*t

Nurse Bokhee from Grey's anatomy!! Love this show!

Nurse Jackie because she allowed herself to learn from her mistakes to help others. She helps those who feel worthless find purpose and value. She doesn't judge she redefines. She heals with compassion and humility.

Jesse Sallander from Code Black.

I would say Nurse Kitty from that 70's Show!! That lady tells it like it is, especially in the work place.

Nurse Jackie all the way!!!

April Sexton off of Chicago Med. She is a strong advocate for each patient regardless of the situation. She stands her ground when it comes to the doctors and their treatments. She will let them know without hesitating her choices. Even dealing with personal problems (loss of child, contracting Tb, and ending a relationship) she will take care of her patients. Much love for this nurse!

"Julia" as a very young child I wanted to be her. So much I had her fasion doll. Barbie just didn't measure up for me. I'm now a NICU Nurse!

My favorite TV nurse was Jada Pinkett Smith in TV series Hawthorne!! She played that character!!! She showed resilience and admiration for her job!! Demonstrated genuine affection and concerns for her patients!! Definitely knew how to get the job done and keep her co-workers and staff in order!! HAWTHORNE!!!

Not on tv anymore but nurse Jackie....not for the drug addict part but for the no nonsense, this is what my patient needs part!!
