A dream about a nurse often hints at a need for healing or nurturing in your waking life. That's the most general analysis.
It may indicate that you're seeking professional help or advice. If you've dreamt of being cared for by a nurse, it suggests a desire to be looked after or a need for self-care. This dream could be a reminder to take better care of your physical or emotional health. It may also reflect feelings of vulnerability or dependence on others.
A nurse is a very complex dream experience to interpret with any certainty. To really say confidently, I'd want to get an understanding of the dreamer's past and current circumstances.

Dreaming of a nurse may be thought of as a manifestation of the Freudian concept of transference, where one projects feelings about significant figures onto others.
But a nurse can say quite a few things — The nurse, in this context, may symbolize a parental figure, embodying nurturing and care. Dreaming of being cared for by a nurse, by contrast, may indicate a regression to a childlike state, seeking comfort and protection. This could be a response to stress or trauma, reflecting a subconscious desire for a safe, caring environment. It may also suggest a need to address unresolved issues from childhood or to cultivate self-compassion and self-care in your waking life.0
