As Head Nurse, Carla Espinosa Turk is a highly qualified medical professional, and on many occasions knows more than the doctors.   Carla shows her dedication by seeing to it that she knows not only everything about Sacred Heart's patients, but also its staff.   And, as a family oriented Latina, Nurse Espinosa Turk is fairly sure of what each and every family should do when facing a medical/ personal/ family/ social/ relationship/professional dilemma.   Although she seems as harmless as a helpful little bunny, don't cross her - she has a caliente side; the consequences of which frighten even the Janitor.

Quotes:

"I live in a tiny apartment with my husband, his best friend, and their dead stuffed dog. What's the step down?"

"You talk like that, do you even know my name? I spend every second of my life either here, or taking care of my mom. So, yeah, maybe I needed a little closeness. I'm sure you never had a quickie at the club, right? Or snuck some skinny, flat-butted college boy up to your sorority room. And my thong? I happen to think it makes my ass look good. And some days, I need to feel good about something around here. And you judge me? Well, guess what, word does get around, Miss "Out For Herself", so you can dump on everyone here if you want; but you will not hurt me."

"I swear. If you don't knock me up tonight... no more sex until you steal me a baby. So do it right this time."
