I like the nursing director on Nurse Jackie, Nurse Akolitis(? Spelling). Though tough as nails at times, she stands up for

her staff , pitches in when help is needed on

the floor with patient care. A true team

player!

Julia was my favorite tv nurse, played by Dianne Carroll, back in the 1970's. She was not only a dedicated nurse to her patients, but she was a dedicated mother to her young son. She wore two hats well.

"Getting On" stars Alex Borstein as Dawn Forchette, an insecure, easily pushed-around nurse. It's so funny. If you haven't had a chance to watch it, you should 😊

My favorite TV nurse is Nurse Jackie Edde Falco !

she is gritty - amazing at her job and facing or not facing her addiction which is a real issue for many nurses!

Specializes in Psych, Addictions, SOL (Student of Life).

Also Nurse Kelly from M*A*SH
