Question for nurse mains
How long did it take you to get good or at least decent with Nurse?
I have to admit I only played her once, but it was so awful I never touched her again after that.
I just can't time the blinks when a survivor is out of my sight, I feel like a clown trying.
My favorite killer is Spirit, in the beginning I had problems with her too because I couldn't see the survs, but in the meantime I've become quite decent with her and have a lot of fun playing her. But it bothers me that there's one killer (nurse) I can't control at all. I like it to rotate through my killers and I'd love to play her, too, but I don't know if it's worth practicing if you don't have endless amounts of time.

The first time I've played Nurse, the survivors in the chat told me I was supposed to charge her power ... It was about 18k blink attacks ago.
I put her aside for months before trying again.
It took me about two weeks of training to get some consistency.
During these two weeks I've spent my time blinking from every place to every place on every map. I didn't care about the survivors. The goal was to be able to put myself on stairs, other levels, small rooms, cranes, ... at will.
From time to time I started to chase someone, but only to try to keep up, even if I was at hit range. (And because only learning the maps gets boring)
It's only after the first two weeks that I've started to try to down and kill survivors. Not to win games mind you.
For these chases I've only put chase and detection perks. BBQ, Whispers, Spies, ... you get the idea.
No addons though : never any addon. (Even now I very rarely use them. I mostly do it with some specific goal in mind, a rift or an achievement, ...)
After that the timeline is fuzzy. I've started to win games but I was still getting my ass kicked pretty often. It took months to be decent. Survivors were a bit different back then. They were good enough to push through old ruin and verse a 5-blinks Nurse so I wasn't exactly a challenge.
You know the saying about the ten thousand times? I guess that's how many blink attacks to need. It never stops getting tiring though.
She is, in my opinion, the most satisfying killer to play.

Couple weeks, but after that you have to play her regularly.
No, it's not worth getting good at unless you wanna play her a ton.
Even once you are good at her, the gameplay involves stunning yourself 50% of the match and raging that your blink got stopped 1cm short by a rock or something.
Getting good at blight is the play. He's got way more fun addons too. Nurse addons are mostly resident sleeper, same with the killer herself tbh.

Different for everybody, but expect it to take months at least. Take just about everything you know about killer chase mechanics and toss it out the window. It's akin to starting from square one.
It'll be discouraging and frustrating as the losses pile up, but it's worth it.

I just cba with learning all the new maps and geometry on her. Plaid flannel + range Nurse for life.
When I learned her it was before the massive nerfs so you could actually get tons of blinks in and not be so punished for missing them. Now she just feels awful to play even if your average experience is curbstomping the survivor team.
There's also no real tricks or techs or anything that makes her gameplay particularly deep. Flannel takes all the guesswork out for me, which is good cause I only play her for dailies now.

It took me about a week to feel comfortable with the blink range and timing. Now after 3 weeks of only playing Nurse i can get beat sometimes, but mostly destroy surv. I would suggest running i distance add on with something else right from the start to get used to the 20 percent charge time. As running both distance add ons feels kinda cheap. Just dont worry about missing blinks get your distance and timing down and you will be just fine.
