Ever popular nurse Halloween costumes are easily found each year during trick or treat. Whether alone or partnered with a “doctor” these are fun and comfortable costumes to wear and require little effort to create. You can be as detailed the theme specific as you want or be a simple care giver in a basic nurse costume.

First, you will need your uniform. This can range from basic scrubs to a naughty nurse lab coat and high heels. All else is up to you. Add a little nurse hat or rubber gloves. You may not need to don the obligatory stethoscope as the doctor might, but you could incorporate other “tools” in as well. http://www.costumecauldron.com/shop/halloween-costume/Doctor–Nurse-Costumes-title0-p-2-c-349.html

Choose your character and then look into the wide range of accessories available to build on the character. Tongue depressors can be used in a provocative way or you might carry a large candy thermometer. Surgical nurses might have fake blood on their clothing and tote a severed limb. You might want a clipboard but what you write on it will depend on what character you are playing.

A short and form-fitting lab coat is a must for the sexy nurse. How short is up to you. High heels are needed for this costume and a blond wig adds a nice touch. For this nurse Halloween costume you want to use a heavy hand with makeup. Bright lipstick, long polished nails and a significant layer of eye makeup bring the sexy nurse to life. http://www.costumecauldron.com/Adult-Naughty-Nurse-Costumes.html

A terrifying nurse does not have to be a sexy nurse, although the two can be combined. A set of scrubs works just fine for this style, and they are far more comfortable as you move around at Halloween parties or trick or treating! Add some fake blood on your uniform and hands, maybe even a few smears on your face to look as though you have been a very busy nurse. The more twisted and terrible looking your tools, the more scary you will appear. Go for the Silent Hill look by adding a bit of rust on those metal pieces (this can be done with spray paint, if you do not mind painting on your props).

It’s easy to alter the look of nurse Halloween costumes. You can create a walking dead or zombie nurse with a few props that suggest the world of the undead. Adding dark shadows under the eyes and below the cheekbones on top of very pale makeup will do the trick. You can find many special effects kits in costume stores to add tattoos or gaping wounds or rotting flesh. Go as far as you want and make your nurse as warped as you can imagine.

Maybe you just want to be a normal nurse. This is an easy costume when time is short. It’s easily recognized, always respected and cost effective if you have a nurse friend willing to loan you a uniform or lab coat for the day.

No matter how you personalize the character a nurse is an easy part to play. You can vary the look, be a naughty and sexy tease or an evil nurse out to cause as much pain as possible. With or without a partner you will be easy to recognize in your uniform and can fit into any group or party. Except perhaps for the most naughty nurse Halloween costumes your costume will not offend or shock anyone. If you love Halloween but don’t have the time to spend on elaborate costume preparations, just be a nurse and have a great evening. Edited by Hetsil Protage
