Basic Trope: An employee of a hospital (typically a nurse) is notably attractive.
- Straight: Alice works as a nurse at a hospital, and is also a Head Turning Beauty.
- Exaggerated:
- Every nurse that works at Alice's hospital is breathtakingly gorgeous, with a certain body type and oddly revealing uniforms.
- Alice performs her duties in a uniform comprised of a skimpy white bikini with red crosses on the top, high heels, and a little nurse's cap.
- Alice works in an experimental wing of the hospital, where the nurses are all completely nude as part of an arousal-based therapy. Alice isn't thrilled about her reassignment, as security is always coming up with some new reason to search her, and it's painfully obvious that no one's looking at her presentation screen during staff meetings. But on the other hand, patients no longer complain about having their vitals taken, and her performance reviews with the doctors have really improved.
- Downplayed: Alice works at a hospital, and is reasonably good-looking but not extremely so.
- Justified:
- Alice is also trying to make it as a supermodel, and does nursing part-time.
- The hospital's business plan is to only staff model-attractive women as personnel.
- Inverted: Alice doesn't work at a hospital, and isn't good-looking in the slightest.
- Gender-Inverted: Bob is a male nurse, and also a Chick Magnet.
- Subverted:
- During an epidemic, Alice's nursing uniform covers her from head to toe, along with a medical mask for health purposes.
- Alice works at a hospital for the blind, and no one there can see how beautiful she is.
- Double Subverted:
- The epidemic ends, the bulky uniforms are scrapped, and Alice's beauty quickly becomes known.
- Due to some embarrassing incidents as she takes vital readings from the patients, they still know how attractive her figure is.
- Parodied: While he stays in the hospital, Patient Bob hears from every other patient that he has to meet Nurse Alice, since she's the hottest nurse in the ward. He'll be sweating under his clothes when he finally meets her, they say. As the weather gets colder, Bob finally meets Nurse Alice, who is the nurse specifically in charge of bringing space heaters to patients who are cold.
- Zig-Zagged: Some of the staff at Alice's hospital are classically attractive, and some of them aren't.
- Averted: Alice turns down the job offer from the hospital so she can pursue her modeling career.
- Enforced: "We need Fanservice, but the show is set in a hospital. Let's make the nurses crazy beautiful!"
- Lampshaded: ""You ever wonder why she went into nursing, with looks like that? Oh well, I can't complain about the sponge bath."
- Invoked: Alice's boyfriend Charles pays her way through nursing school, partly because he thinks she'd be good at the job, but mostly because he has a thing for nurses.
- Exploited:
- Alice leans into her beauty when she needs something from a doctor.
- The reception staff gives Alice all the ornery, older male patients, due to her pacifying effect on them.
- An elderly male patient starts to experience a heart failure from low blood pressure, and the on-call doctor isn't answering his pager. Alice sighs that she can't believe she's doing this, as she closes the bed curtain. By way of Sexy Silhouette, the audience sees Alice try to restore the patient's heart rate using ocular stimulation, pectoral-to-mouth resuscitation, and finally, pelvic activation. The doctor finally arrives and opens the curtain, to see the patient with a big grin lying between some soft pillows, while Alice is smoking a cigarette.
- Defied: Alice's friend suggests that she become a nurse, but Alice says she could never deal with the stress.
- Discussed: "You meet Nurse Alice yet? You'd know if you did."
- Conversed: "They've got Alice as a sexy nurse, now." "Hitting the classic fetishes, I see."
- Implied: Alice tells friends at dinner that she got the new nursing job, but we never see her at the hospital.
- Deconstructed: Alice has to tolerate a lot of leering and catcalling from patients.
- Reconstructed: Alice starts carrying an enormous syringe, and the patients fall silent.
- Played for Laughs:
- After Alice walks past a man in the waiting room, the man promptly punches himself in the face, giving himself a black eye, then approaches the counter and says he'd like to be transferred to that nurse's wing, please.
- Alice works as a wet nurse in the infant ward, along with her standard hospital rotations, and the hospital manager realizes they can use Alice to offer patients an organic milk option. Whenever a patient requests it, Alice chants to herself "Big raise, big raise," as she unbuttons her top, and then reminds the patient that the use of teeth are prohibited, while the camera pans away amidst slurping noises.
- Patient Bob notices as Alice walks past his bed, appearing to be topless from the back. As other hospital staff turn to see her walk past, they comment "Wow, big ones!" Alice approaches a frumpy IT guy at his computer, and asks if he has time to scan them into the system for her. She raises her arms to give him easier access, and the IT guy notes that they get bigger every year as he paws at her front and scans with a scanner. Alice says she doesn't mind, because the size makes it easier for security to see them when she presses them against the glass. Finally, the IT guy asks her if she wants him to put the hoop rings in, and she says definitely. When he asks if she wants them one at a time, Alice says no, it's fine if he does them both at the same time. Bob can hardly believe his eyes as the IT guy reaches up with a pair of hole punchers, followed by a pair of metallic ka-chunk noises, then Alice comments that they went clean through and the hoops look great. Bob faints in his bed, and Alice finally turns around to reveal she's wearing a backless hospital gown between shifts, and she's been wearing a pair of new ID tags on lanyards the whole time.
- Played for Drama:
- The other nurses envy Alice for her popularity with the patients and the doctors, and hatch a plan to sabotage her.
- One of the doctors falls in love with Alice, but is afraid to say anything for fear of damaging their work relationship.
Head back to Hospital Hottie, and get your vitals taken.
