History Main / SchoolNurse

* In ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia,'' the SuperheroSchool has Recovery Girl, a [[MiniatureSeniorCitizens little old lady]] whose MagicKiss speeds up the body's natural healing--this isn't foolproof, however, especially since it [[CastFromHitPoints drains the injured person's energy]] as much as healing normally would. She also seems to know some traditional medicine, at one point performing surgery on [[TheProtagonist Izuko]]'s hand.

In the world of {{anime}} and {{manga}}, the school nurse is almost AlwaysFemale, twentysomething, and [[HospitalHottie extremely attractive]]. They tend to do their hair in buns, wear corrective lenses and white labcoats, combining aspects of HotLibrarian, HotScientist, and HospitalHottie. For most intents and purposes, however, attractive school nurses count predominantly as {{Hot Teacher}}s, being school staff over a librarian, scientist or physician.

* ''Manga/HighschoolOfTheDead'''s Shizuka Marikawa takes this [[UpToEleven up to 11]], with her being [[TheDitz extremely ditzy]] and the most [[GagBoobs aesthetically blessed]] in a group of [[WorldOfBuxom very well-endowed females]].

* Medusa from ''Manga/SoulEater''. After she reveals herself as a villain, [[BandageBabe Mira Naigus]] takes over the position.

* ''Manga/GreatTeacherOnizuka'' has Naoko Moritaka (in the anime her role was given to Nao Kadena, an existing character from ''Manga/ShonanJunaiGumi'').

* In the [=DeviantArt=] fancomic ''Webcomic/DisneyHighSchool'', it's [[Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit Jessica Rabbit]]. Of course, she's smart enough to know [[HospitalHottie the effect she has on the boys]] and [[http://morloth88.deviantart.com/art/Hello-Nurse-659533363 plans accordingly.]]

* Sakura from ''Anime/UruseiYatsura'', who is also a {{Miko}} (this is especially funny for complicated reasons).

* Michiru Onigawara from ''LightNovel/{{MM}}!''. She's not very personable for a nurse, though.

* Tokiko Magami from ''Manga/{{X 1999}}''.
* Another RareMaleExample... [[SubvertedTrope sorta]]: Kyousuke Tamamo from ''Manga/HellTeacherNube'' ''posed'' as one to approach Hiroshi and kidnap him...
* Dr. Ryouko Mikado from ''Manga/ToLoveRu''.
* In ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia,'' the SuperheroSchool has Recovery Girl, a [[MiniatureSeniorCitizens little old lady]] whose MagicKiss speeds up the body's natural healing--this isn't foolproof, however, especially since it [[CastFromHitPoints drains the injured person's energy]] as much as healing normally would. She also seems to know some traditional medicine, at one point performing surgery on [[TheProtagonist Izuko]]'s hand.
* Lucoa becomes the school nurse of Oborozuka Elementary in chapter 2 of ''Manga/MissKobayashisDragonMaid: Lucoa is my xx'' so she can spend more time with Shouta. Given that she doesn't have any credential to speak of, [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveSupernaturalPowers she had to mess with the principal's memories to get the job]].

* Yuki-sensei in ''Anime/OjamajoDoremi'' is both school nurse and counselor, which comes in handy throughout the story. [[spoiler: Considering [[TheHighQueen her true identity]], learning these skills is certainly an accomplishment for a witch.]]

* ''Manga/WhyTheHellAreYouHereTeacher'': Chizuru Tachibana is a school nurse and the fourth HotTeacher introduced in the series.

* Creator/RoaldDahl described the matron from his boarding school as a dangerous creature who ruled with a rod of steel, who clearly disliked small boys, was sadistic, and reveled in sending boys to the headmaster for caning.

* Joan Redfern of the ''Series/DoctorWho'' two-parter "Human Nature/Family of Blood".

* ''Series/{{Zoey 101}}'' has one of every type. Nurse Krutcher is grumpy, has NoIndoorVoice and is a bit of a TortureTechnician. The new nurse, Shannon,is pretty and friendly, but only treats lower school kids.

* Kyoko Minazuki from ''VideoGame/RivalSchools'', who later doubles as Justice High's chemistry teacher.

* Yujin, a male example is the school nurse of ''VisualNovel/{{Nameless}}''. He is cares very little about the students, however, and only seems to work there because he's in [[CargoShip love with the school's plastic skeleton, Beatrice.]]
* Junko-sensei from ''VisualNovel/ThreeSistersStory'' is the only quest-giver of the game, albeit she is unrelated to the main plot.

* In VisualNovel/TrueLoveJunaiMonogatari, [[spoiler: Misako Hayama [[TheUglyGuysHotDaughter aka the hot daughter of the school doctor]] temporarily takes up the position if the PlayerCharacter had sex with her beforehand. And yes, he can do her in the infirmary -- if he does, she will become his girlfriend at the end of the game.]]

* Saiko-sensei in ''VisualNovel/ElevenEyes''.

* Nurse Bendy in ''WesternAnimation/MoralOrel'', who also happens to be the school principal's mistress. She also is sometimes seen working at Moralton's hospital. [[BrainlessBeauty For a given definition of 'work' anyway.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': Lunchlady Doris (definitely not a HospitalHottie) often doubles as nurse at Springfield Elementary.
** Somewhat {{lampshade|Hanging}}d in that she's usually "promoted" to nurse by Springfield Elementary's recurring budget problems.
** At Kamp Krusty, the nurse looks like a meaner, uglier of Lunchlady Doris. She smokes as she works and strikes a match on a kid's cast.
* At ''WesternAnimation/CampLazlo'', Nurse Leslie, a male shark (nurse shark, get it?) who for some reason never gets off from his chair.

* Creator/RoaldDahl described the matron from his boarding school as a dangerous creature who ruled with a rod of steel, who clearly disliked small boys, was sadistic, and revelled in sending boys to the headmaster for caning.

* There's a nurse in ''WesternAnimation/MoralOrel'', who also happens to be the school principal's mistress.

* Medusa from ''Manga/SoulEater''.

* In the [=DeviantArt=] fancomic ''Webcomic/DisneyHighSchool'', it's [[Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit Jessica Rabbit]]. Of course, she's smart enough to know [[HospitalHottie the effect she has on the boys]] and [[http://morloth88.deviantart.com/art/Hello-Nurse-659533363 plans accordingly]].

* There's a children's picture book called [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast "The School Nurse from the Black Lagoon"]]. The narrator hears all sorts of things about the school nurse (incidentally named Ms. Hearse), then has to go to the nurse himself. [[spoiler: It turns out that although the nurse is indeed named Ms. Hearse, she is pretty and very nice.]]

** Similarly subverted in the Polish cartoon ''Włatcy Móch'', where the nurse is a serious {{Gonk}}. On the other hand, she's the [[AdultsAreUseless least useless of the adults]].

* ''Literature/TheChaletSchool'' has one matron through most of the series, known as "Matey", who is mostly tough but fair. In one book, she is replaced by a much nastier matron.

* Nurse Specks from ''Film/SkyHigh2005''.

* Madame Pomfrey from the ''Literature/HarryPotter'' series.
** Madame Pomfrey rather mixes the archetypes above. She may be older, and grumpy about the kids hurting themselves, but she also clearly cares about the children she treats.

* Yohko Sagisawa, a minor character in ''Anime/MaiHime''.
* Yohko Helene of ''Anime/MaiOtome'' fills this role in addition to maintaining the school's technology.

* Male example: Mr. Ekoda from ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}'', that creepy guy who also gives lectures on magic. ''Don't'' take his medicine (unless you need to build Courage).

[[folder:Web Comics]]

In Western productions, however, the reverse is often true. In these works, the school nurse is middle-aged, rather ugly, and generally grumpy about having to take care of so many [[YouMeddlingKids snot-nosed brats]] (very similar to the lunch lady). Comedy works often portray her as something akin to a TortureTechnician, using all sorts of excuses to [[BattleaxeNurse poke, prod, and jam needles]] into our plucky protagonists. Much of this portrayal is an homage to Nurse Ratched from ''Film/OneFlewOverTheCuckoosNest''.

* Nurse Kaori Shitou from ''VisualNovel/CrescendoEienDatoOmotteItaAnoKoro'', a potential love interest for the lead male.

* Lucoa becomes the school nurse of Oborozuka Elementary in chapter 2 of ''Manga/MissKobayashisDragonMaid: Lucoa is my xx'' so she can spend more time with Shouta. Given that she doesn't have any credential to speak of, [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveSupernaturalPowers she had to mess with the principals memories to get the job]].
