Nurse Practitioner 

A midlevel provider who went to school for 6-7 years. Many have an MSN but the DNP degree has been introduced to try to blur the lines with Physicians who instead train for a minimum of 11 years. NPs use this obscurity in an attempt to validate their claims for unsupervised practice. Additionally, many graduate nursing programs are degree mills boasting 100% acceptance rates and 100% online coursework. NPs serve an important place in healthcare but are best paired with a supervising Physician.
Nurse Practitioner: "I wanted to be a doctor but the MCAT wasn't open-book, so I went to the University of Phoenix MSN program with online exams".

Nurse drop 

Nurses feel the need to let people know they are nurses. Similar to name-dropping, a nurse-drop is when a nurse tells you that they are a nurse very randomly in a conversation without the subject matter even being relevant to the topic.
Nurse drop:

Person A: Hey have you eaten at that new restaurant? It's really good...
Nurse: Yeah I've been, it's pretty good. I'm a nurse so I have a distinguishing palate.

nurse-tang 

The expressed sexuality of nurses.
I am gonna get some nurse-tang when I get back in town!
nurse-tang by I, Wreckerrr December 19, 2020
The ass that a nurse gets from sitting in a chair for 12 hours and wearing loose fitting scrubs with elastic waistbands that fail to indicate you are slowly gaining weight. The key features are the side to side swaying and inner thigh swishing that occurs as they walk down the hall.
Guy #1: Hey man, check out that ass over there! Just how I like it.

Guy #2: She's got quite the nurse ass.
