Joan Markham

The School Nurse is a minor character in The Amazing World of Gumball. She is the school nurse of Elmore Junior High. Teri, being a hypochondriac, is one of her most frequent visitors. She also dislikes Miss Simian, because she believes that her treatment of students is terrible, as seen in "The Joy."

Appearance
The School Nurse appears to be an anthropomorphic bandage. She is dressed in typical nurse fashion, wearing a white dress and hat, with a red cross symbol on them. Her limbs are skinny and red. She also resembles the Bandage Paramedics shown in "The Prank," and the Bandage Doctor from "Christmas." In fact, every medical professional seen in the show so far has been a bandage, except for Dr. Butt and the Twitchy Scientist. She appears to have a bit of an overbite, and possesses a large pair of glasses.

Personality
Although not unskilled, she doesn't appear to care much about the well being of the students overall. This is seen when she chooses not to bother with helping Darwin in "The Allergy." This may be in part due to Teri, who constantly sees her for silly reasons due to her own hypochondria.
