Zoey Barkow from Nurse Jackie, because she has the "new" nurse chipper, optimistic attitude, which is encouraging and sweet to the patients as well as her co-workers.
Rosario Dawson from Netflix show Daredevil. She is smart, tough, caring, and she is a super hero for saving lives.
FYI: non of the doctors on Greys anatomy are nurses and should not even be included. Sandy Summers and Harry Summers' book SAVING LIVES spells out why the media needs to change for our practice!
Nurse Jackie. Even though she had a drug problem she still always put her patients first. Whether she was at work, home, on the street, or anywhere. She always helped those in need. I also loved that had a sarcastic attitude until it came to her patients she was always caring.
Gaylord Focker, or Greg male nurse in Meet the Parents. Love the movie because it's too funny and still today male nurses are still looked down on and still trying to get approval in a profession typically associated with women.
