A lot of the Harlequins are Nurse/Doctor romances. There are even some Paranormal Nurse romances. Usually it's a "guy gets bitten by a wolf and goes to the hospital" type of thing. Hilarity does not ensue. Cassie Alexander has Nightshifted and Moonshifted, which have been on my Kindle for a year without being read.
Thanks for clarifying! It seems that at one time nursing was seen as a "glamorous" vocation -- but then there were fewer career paths open to women.
