As I have written some of the world-renowned legit nurses in the past, let's go over the present to see some of the most famous nurse characters on television today. Here is the list of the top five fictional nurses from the past until today:
5. Major Margaret J. "Hot Lips" Houlihan, a stiff head nurse who mainly wants to follow everything "by-the-book" for her own benefit. The actress who played this role in the longest running television series -- MASH -- was Sally Kellerman.
4. Christine Chapel, a United Federation of Planets Starfleet nurse in the "Star Trek" original television series. Her character was portrayed by the late Majel Barrett.
3. Audrey March Hardy, the head of student nurses at the famous television series, "General Hospital". Her character was played by Rachel Ames from 1964 to 2002, with a recurring role from 2002 to 2007. Her last guest appearance on the show was in 2009.
2. Samantha Taggart, a nurse in the primetime television drama "ER". She was played by actress Linda Cardellini.
1. Carla Espinosa, an extremely competent and free-spirited nurse in the hit comedy television series "Scrubs". Her character was portrayed by actress Judy Reyes.
These feisty women, although often thought of as escorts are ready to take charge and they only continue to prove that nurses are not just assistants but they also play an important part in the medical team. Although the top five are all women, there were also some male nurses portrayed in some television series.
