Carol Hathaway from ER.

- never afraid to advocate for her patients/stand up to physicians (frequently educated and offered constructive criticism to Dr. Carter during his early days, for example)

- empathetic but firm bedside manner (on one episode, she told a young woman contemplating having an abortion "it doesn't matter what I think" when asked about the associated morality)

- owned up to mistakes (accidentally gave the wrong type blood to a patient who subsequently died; was offered the chance to cover it up but instead reported the error)

- got a near-perfect score on the MCATs but chose to remain a nurse

- founded a free clinic within the ER

- overcame numerous personal struggles (the pilot features her nearly dying from a suicide attempt)

Nurse Bokhee from Grey's Anatomy.

They would be lost without her, although she never says a word.

I read somewhere that she is actually a retired scrub nurse

She speaks her mind, provides excellent sex education, keeps some MDs from killing people, AND has a 'real life's where she is pulling double shifts, still cooking and cleaning for her family to make ends meet

Hot lips Margaret Houlihan from MASH.

She was calm under pressure.

Tough but with a gooheart

Marisa, RN

Even though nurse Jackie was a drug addict, she was a kick butt nurse.

Carla from Scrubs. She always advocated for her patients no matter what she had to do or who she made angry by doing so and she demanded (and received) respect from the doctors for herself as a nurse.

Nurse Joy, the nurse that takes care of all Pokémon. She is calm and pleasant in all situations.

Samantha Taggert- ER

She had to struggle her way through nursing school and never really stopped trying to expand her skills.
