A warping Killer, able to Blink through obstacles and quickly close gaps with her power, Spencer's Last Breath. Her personal perks, Stridor, Thanatophobia and A Nurse's Calling, allow her to decrease Survivor abilities and track them when they are injured.
A powerful and violent last breath snatched from Crotus Prenn Asylum warden Patrick Spencer. Channelling its energy allows The Nurse to pierce and jump through the spirit world in a Blink multiple times in a row. Doing so leaves her in a state of fatigue.

“Still attached to the fragments of her past life, she is drawn to those in need of help.”

“She plays with us and revels in our pain.”
Sally Smithson came to town with dreams of children’s feet and laughter in a wooden home built by her husband Andrew. And one day Andrew’s foreman had to pay Sally a visit, forever changing her life. With no other option, Sally had to find a way but the only employment she could get was at the Crotus Prenn Asylum. She started at the bottom, doing the hard night shift. Over the years, her mind had reached its limits, decades of seeing horrid things that violate the eyes. Finally, she could not take it anymore and concepts of purification emerged inside her. As the morning staff arrived one day in September, they found over fifty patients dead in their beds, and four staff members, also dead. Only Sally had survived the night but her mind was gone, rocking back and forth non-stop. They got her into an ambulance, but that ambulance never reached the hospital. It was found crashed in a nearby wood, all the staff dead and Sally nowhere to be found.
The Nurse ignores the one rule every other killer obeys: walls. Her blinks pass through obstacles, which means survivors cannot rely on loops — only on breaking line of sight and faking movement. Learning her is brutal at first: you will miss blinks, eat fatigue, and lose games you would have won with an easier killer. Persist. Once you can consistently land a blink plus its follow-up chain, very little in the game can pressure survivors the way she does.
Two habits separate a decent Nurse from a scary one. First, blink at where the survivor is going, not where they are — track their camera and their exit paths, and charge your blink for the distance they will have covered. Second, respect fatigue: every blink you throw out in panic is four seconds of standing still. Aura reading pairs naturally with her, since seeing a survivor through a wall converts directly into a hit — that is the whole idea behind our featured "A Nurse's Calling" build. Against her, survivors win by doubling back and hugging tight line-of-sight blockers, so add-ons and perks that reveal position are worth more to her than raw slowdown.
