Nurse Ferry was a character from Ginger Snaps. She was the high school nurse for Bailey Downs High School.
History[]
Nurse Ferry is only seen once during the Ginger Snaps film and is not seen nor mentioned afterwards.
On the day following both the Beast of Bailey Downs attack and the occurence of Ginger's first period, Ginger also discovered hair growing from the healed scars from the attack and experienced sudden heavy bleeding. This prompts Brigitte and Ginger to visit the school nurse to ask her about Ginger's abnormal period and other bodily changes, such as hair growth. She educates the Fitzgerald sisters about the female reproductive system and the menstruation cycle. Although being a knowledgeable person about the human body, she ignored Brigitte and Ginger's concerns about Ginger's excess menstruation, hair growth or pain and brushed it off as a normal abnormality for a young woman's first period. She seems stuck-up, and at the end, she offers the sisters condoms to protect themselves while having sex.
Significance[]
Nurse Ferry is analogous to Pamela Fitzgerald, who are both loving and caring figures, but to the point of being overwhelming to Brigitte and Ginger. Although good-natured, she is over-the-top and dismisses their concerns. Their awkward encounter made the sisters decide to not pursue help from the Nurse nor from other people who could help Ginger.
