A hoity-toity, all girls private school on the Upper East Side. The girls who go there are intimidatingly endowed with money, brains, and beauty.

Based off the "Nurse with the Lamp", Florence Nightingale was apparently an extremely adept nurse. While not technically a medical syndrome, Nightingale Syndrome is known to be used to describe the situation in which a patient falls in love with his/her medical caretaker due to the vague bond created when healed by a complete stranger.
Karyn fell for her surgeon, can you believe that? All he did was patch her up after a gunshot wound to the stomach. What a textbook case of Nightingale Syndrome.

An elite school for rich, white, upper class girls. It has a sterling reputation. However, on the inside of those big blue doors the girls are either drug addicts or heavy alcoholics. Some of them resort to making internet porn. The school however does a wonderful job at masking the true identity of the girls, and Nightingale is still standing strong on 92nd and Madison.
girl 1. "hey girl, dude last night we all got soo high"
girl 2. "thats soo chill I havn't gotten drunk or high on a school night in almost 4 days"
girl 1. "shit! how do you live? Are you making lots of internet porn to relive stress or something."
girl 2. "OMG how did you know?! did Jim tell you? or was it Sam? Or Lenny, or Michaiel"
girl 1. I just guessed that IS what Nightingale Bamford is about.

Terrible school full of over-privileged elitist assholes. The headmistress is a stuck up bitch who is homophobic and prejudice against anyone who is in the least bit different or interesting. Their cookie cutter model of pretentiousness that they expect everyone to fit into is absurd and unrealistic.
"Um, excuse me, why do I have to wait on line like everyone else? Um, excuse me, like, you didn't go to Harvard or Yale, then I'm not speaking to you. Um, like like like, I don't talk to people who aren't rich and elite like me, afterall, I go to the Nightingale- Bamford School."
