Nurse Playstyle Tips
- Extra inventory means fewer trips to the vending machine. Stock up early.
- Carry a mix of Medkits and Coffee to handle both health and sanity needs.
- In co-op, the Nurse should focus on supply runs while others handle check-in.
- Upgrade to Surgeon (2,500 Animal Coins) once you have saved enough — it is the best F2P class in the game.
- The Nurse class is a stepping stone, but a very good one. Do not skip it on your way to Surgeon.
Recommended Class Progression
- Intern (Free) — Learn the basics.
- Nurse (10 Animal Coins) — Best first upgrade. Extra inventory changes the game.
- Surgeon (2,500 Animal Coins) — The S-Tier F2P goal. Save for this.
- Security (1,250 Animal Coins) or Head Nurse (80 Robux) — Your endgame class depending on playstyle.
