have seen 10 answered as Beverley Allitt, but "naughty nurse" seems a bit flippant to be correct, as she was a mass murderer?!

[chelle7272]

I had considered it but didn't want to suggest it for that exact reason voulez-vous

24 claymore ?

[wardlaw]

Yes I had thought of her straight away but discounted that as an answer. Like you, I feel the clue makes too light of what she did. The letters fit though!

[wardlaw]

Brilliant Fibonacci. Many thanks.

How about Margaret Sanger? She was a birth control activist and nurse, which fits with "naughty nurse" idea. Not sure if she is well known enough to be correct, but worth a look.

[wardlaw]

Good answer voulez-vous. I've never heard of her but I'll look it up. Appeals more than Allitt!

[Voulez-vous]

Any answer is better than Allit, wardlaw.......
I can't get out of my head that this must be a "carry on" answer or similar, the "naughty" is the key I think.

[wardlaw]

Have checked her out. American nurse who fits all the clue's criteria. Oui j'en veux!

[factor-fiction]

I made the mistake of googling "naughty nurse". I'd better clear my browser history now.
I thought of Barbara Windsor but she doesn't fit

[wardlaw]

LOL factor. Thank you all. done now.
