Time for a pulp countdown, and as it's #InternationalNursesDay here's my top 10 strangest settings for nurse romance novels!

At #8: nurse under the sea! Scuba and scrubs, passion and porpoises etc...

At #7: nurse at a hootenanny! I had to look that up too...

At #6: nurse in the Peace Corps! Let it all hang out? No - shove it all back in and suture it! Now wash your hands.

At #5: nurse in luxury! You get to wear kitten heels on the wards and everything!

At #4: nurse in a parachute! It's one way to be a locum...

At #3: nurse on surf safari! "Let's go nursing now, everybody's learning how, come on nurse safari with meeee..."

At #2: nurse in an ice hockey team! Will he 'put the biscuit in the basket' or is she lining up a slap shot? Only time will tell...

More pulp countdowns another time. Happy nursing everybody!
