10 nurse depictions we wish would go away

6. Nurse Ratched
Okay, so she’s not your typical big-busted, puffy-lipped, ditzy naughty nurse. But believe it or not, women like her are a turn-on for some men. Seriously! Men who like being told that they’re naughty go ga-ga over the Nurse Ratched type.

She’s an old character, you say? Sure, but check out a lot of the more modern movies and TV shows that have nurses. There’s usually one strict one who just loves to pull her weight!

I won’t even bother going into detail about the now rare but still ridiculous Ratched references we shrug off when we have to be firm with a patient.

NEXT: You’re a nurse? You must be gay.
