Healing costs can range from a few Copper to several Silver Coins, depending on how much health the player is missing. She charges Copper equal to 75% of the health restored (e.g. for restoring 100 health), plus an additional  for every active debuff on the player.

In the ,the Nurse charges increasing amounts of money for healing as the game progresses.

In the, she will fight enemies by throwing poison syringes that will damage and poison enemies for 3-5 seconds. She can also use healing syringes to heal herself and other friendly NPCs for 20 health.

Tips

 * The Nurse can be used as a "healing station" when at low health, e.g. during a boss fight, by teleporting to the spawn point (using a Magic/Ice Mirror) where the Nurse is present. Autopause can be used to grant more time.


 * The Frequent Flyer achievement can be a difficult achievement to obtain, as it is very cheap to get healed by the nurse, unless you have a debuff. Having a nearby trap that inflicts a debuff, such as lava or a dart trap, can help a player obtain this achievement very quickly.

Trivia

 * The Nurse is depicted in a painting called "Nurse Lisa", a reference to the famous portrait painting  by the Italian Renaissance artist.
 * When talking to the Nurse while in a crowded area, she will say, "Hey, I dislike the lack of social distancing here." This is a reference to the 2019-2020 Covid-19 corona-virus outbreak that was ongoing at the time of Journey's End launch, and the "social distancing" practice people were encouraged to follow by staying six feet away from people in public.
 * During a, when the Nurse dons a party hat, her hairstyle is different. She wears it down instead of up in a ponytail: Nurse (Party).png This makes sense as wearing a party hat while having hair in a ponytail would be cumbersome.
