{{quote|'''Lister:''' God, I went out with a lot of nurses, didn't I?
'''Kryten:''' I don't believe those are authentic uniforms, sir. Note the astonishing brevity of those hemlines. I believe all those girls are impostors, pretending to belong to the medical profession for some nefarious purpose as yet unknown.

A sexy but impractical nurse outfit. It is far [[Stripperific|more revealing]] than the loose-fitting scrubs nurses of either gender wear these days. It plays to the fetish for nurses. Most of the time these are costumes worn by women who aren't nurses, but sometimes they pop up on actual nurses in [[Fan Service]] heavy series.
This page is not for actual sexy nurses
A [[Sub-Trope]] of [[Sexy Whatever Outfit]].

* Misa wears a nurse's outfit as a disguise in ''[[
* ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi]]'': Mikuru wears a nurse outfit in the [[Baseball Episode]]. It manages to stun the entire team.
* England adorns one of these in the April Fools' 2011 event of ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]''. A male example, this was meant to be [[Played for Laughs]]...[[Fetish Fuel|probably]].
* In one episode of ''[[
** Of course, ''any'' effect that might've occurred was sorely hampered by the fact that, due to [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]], said fanboy pal is unaware (but her childhood friend ''is'') that 17-year-old Nanaka has the personality and mindset of a 6-year-old.
* The [[Hentai]] anime ''[[Night Shift Nurses]]''. It's an actual sub-genre, and you see the costumes often enough even in other hentai.
* ''[[Dominion Tank Police]]'': Buaku and his sidekicks break into a hospital in order to destroy some sensitive information. They probably would have been less suspicious if Buaku weren't wearing an improvised arm cast large enough to hold an SMG, and if the two "paramedics" wheeling him in weren't dressed as Night Nurses.
** Possibly a bit of Fridge Brilliance on that one, too. The Puma Sisters were sexbots and strippers before becoming criminals. They could have simply grabbed the nurse outfits from their own wardrobe and were ditzy enough to assume that that was what nurses actually wore.
* In the ''[[Ranma
* ''[[Ghost in
** The cyborg techs in the original manga were also dressed according to this trope.
* Basically the entire character of Mayumi in ''[[Trapeze]]''.
* Haruko wears one in the first two episodes of ''[[
* In episode 7 of the ''[[
* Erza from ''[[Fairy Tail]]'' wears one while trying to help out Wendy. The [[All Men Are Perverts|males definitely approve]].
* In episode 16 of ''[[Bodacious Space Pirates]]'' one of the many [[Cosplay]] costumes shown is a Nurse's outfit.
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* Subverted in one issue of [[The Ultimates]]. A sexily dressed nurse brings in breakfast to a hospital bed-ridden Tony Stark, except she's actually a model hired by Tony to brighten up the place.
* Boo Cat does this for [[Tarot: Witch of the Black Rose|Tarot]] in ''The Shadow Witch'' part 3. It helps that she happens to own a costume shop.
** And it is used to disturbing effect in [http://www.the-isb.com/?p=980 Issue #53]. (Note: Link is probably [[NSFW]].)

* Subverted by the character Night Nurse in [[Marvel Comics]]- she wears a Florence Nightingale-type classic nurse outfit, and only serves to administer actual treatment (or at least, until ''Doctor Strange: The Oath'' when she hooked up with the Sorcerer Supreme.) Incidentally, she's also an MD, not a nurse, which makes one wonder if the getup isn't a form of [[Cosplay]] after all.

* In the ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Buffy Season 8]]'' comic-book, Buffy is exploring her dreamscape and stumbles upon one of her own sexual fantasies, which consists of [http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MBYoI8rWSsM/TZSa72kjOHI/AAAAAAAAADE/T0HxZKBZAkM/s1600/buffyspkan.jpg a nude Angel, a nude Spike and her wearing a nurse uniform]. Artist George Jeanty said in on Q&A session of the website Slayalive that prints of this panel were [[Fan Service|extremely]] [[Fetish Fuel|popular]].
* As mentioned above, Marvel Comics' Night Nurse is an aversion, being a full M.D. As she explains it, "'Night Nurse' is just catchier than 'Night General Practitioner'."
== [[
* The ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' fic ''The Visitor'' has Shinji getting out of an Angel battle blind. While no one is around, Rei comes and... ''[[Lemon|comforts]]'' him on the hospital bed without revealing her identity. Possibly subverted as her monologue afterward implies that she had a hand in his condition in the first place.
== [[Film]] ==
* ''Night Nurse'' (1931), starring Barbara Stanwyck and [[Clark Gable]], may have [[Trope Maker|given birth]] to this trope. It features a surprising amount of [[Fan Service]] for its era.
* Appears in a porn film shown in ''[[The Bank Job]]''.

* Also <s> played straight</s> subverted in ''[[The Dark Knight]]'', except for fetish fuel value.

* Just about every ''[[Carry On]]'' movie about the medical profession, starting with ''Carry On Nurse'', featuring a night nurse who is overpowered, and stripped (down to her slip - it was 1959, after all) by the male ward patients.

* In ''[[ER]]'', Abby dresses up for Halloween in an old-fashioned white nurse's outfit, but naturally everyone assumes she's a sexy nurse.
** A similar incident happened in ''[[Friends]]''.
* In the ''[[Scrubs]]'' episode "My Life in Four Cameras," JD has an extended fantasy of what his life would be like if it were - ironically - more like a sitcom (or as it were, more like a traditional sitcom). In the fantasy shots, Elliot and Carla are wearing sexier versions of their normal scrubs, with ample cleavage.
** Earlier still, in the episode "My Interpretation," Turk has a sex dream featuring Elliot in an even ''more'' revealing nurse outfit. Ironic, considering that Elliot is a doctor and that Turk is married to an actual nurse.

* Sarah Walker wears one as a disguise in the "Angel of Death" episode of ''[[Chuck]]''.
* Subverted in the ''[[Friends]]'' episode "The One With the Halloween Party", when Chandler thinks Mona came as a 'slutty nurse', she insists she's dressed as a regular nurse.
* ''[[The Benny Hill Show]]'' featured a gag "commercial" for Night Nurse where the ill husband rejected his "Night Nurse"

* ''[[Batman: Arkham Asylum]]'' replaces Harley Quinn's traditional black and red jester catsuit with a blue and red [[Of Corsets Sexy|corset]], kinky thigh-high platform boots and an extremely abbreviated nurse outfit, in keeping with her role as [[The Joker|the new warden]]'s sidekick.
* ''[[League of Legends]]'': Players can enjoy the "Nurse Akali" skin for a modest fee.
* ''[[Kingdom of Loathing]]'' has the [http://kol.coldfront.net/thekolwiki/index.php/Naughty_Sorority_Nurse Naughty Sorority Nurse], although since the only visual aid is a stick figure, we're kind of taking the game's word for it.

* The waitresses at the restaurant Heart Attack Grill all dress in Stripperific nurse outfits. Oh, and part of their job [[Casual Kink| is ''spanking'' customers]] who can't finish their orders. (Put it this way: the restaurant in Las Vegas.) Subverted in that they are definitely not real nurses, although everything they serve you will likely put you in the hospital at some point.
* The "sexy nurse" is one variety of the "sexy [X]" Halloween costumes which are marketed toward women and [[Male Gaze|apparently will be until the end of time]].
** Contrast with actual nurses' scrubs which look like the baggy pajamas a woman wears after many years of marriage.
