Head Nurse Class Guide
Head Nurse is the premium utility support class, strongest when extra inventory and Special Technique matter.
Quick Answer
Head Nurse is a Robux-exclusive utility class. It is built around extra inventory capacity first, then adds bonus sanity and a powerful level 3 Special Technique start.
Good for regular players who want convenience and strong team utility.
Special Technique unlocks at level 3 and works best when you already carry the needed medicine.

Description
Head Nurse is a Robux-exclusive utility class. It is built around extra inventory capacity first, then adds bonus sanity and a powerful level 3 Special Technique start.
Use Head Nurse when you want to carry more supplies and support a team through treatment-heavy shifts.
Appearance
Head Nurse is a white cat-like class with grey spots and pointy ears that resemble horns. It wears light blue medical scrubs with large pockets, a white nurse cap with a red heart and cross, and a modeled black stethoscope.
How to use Head Nurse
Head Nurse should carry medicine and key consumables so teammates can focus on admissions, cameras, and threat response.
Build the rest of the setup around the class's actual lane. Check the Items guide for inventory priorities, use the shift guide to match the pick to upcoming pressure, and complete the anomaly checks before relying on any perk or special technique.
Head Nurse is the class decision; Special Technique is one benefit inside that class at Level 3. The class page covers inventory capacity, sanity, cost, and team fit, while the Special Technique guide covers the treatment workflow and its limits. Use the class guide to decide whether Head Nurse belongs in your roster, then use the technique guide when you already have the class and need to plan carried medicine.
Special Technique is a level 3 inventory shortcut
Head Nurse reaches level 3 with Special Technique already active, and Special Technique lets you give all needed medicine from your inventory if you have the supplies available. Combined with +3 maximum inventory capacity, the class is built to remove the two most annoying treatment frictions at once: running out of room, and running out of time.
The important limitation is what Special Technique does not do. It does not identify anomalies, does not stop enemies and does not replace the four-layer check order. It accelerates treatment after a patient has already been verified as safe.
Use it after the check, never before
The temptation with any treatment accelerator is to use it early, and that is precisely the mistake to avoid here. Special Technique applied to a patient that should have been rejected just means the anomaly reached the ward faster and with less friction on the way in.
The correct sequence is unchanged from any other class: confirm at the window, read the clipboard photo, check the camera, then treat. Special Technique compresses the last step only.
Head Nurse versus Nurse and the Robux tier
Nurse is the cheap utility path at 20 Animal Coins and gives inventory capacity alone. Head Nurse is the premium support upgrade: more capacity, bonus sanity, and the level 3 Special Technique start, for Robux rather than Animal Coins.
If you have read the Special Technique page and want the class that provides it, Head Nurse is the class you are looking for. If you only want more item slots, Nurse gets you most of the way for a fraction of the cost.
