Nurse's New Balance
The Nurse is literally the strongest killer in the game while playing correctly. Her current basekit after nerfs is fine but there's some things, which make her unfun to play. First thing is that, she is sooo buggy. Every single map has dead zone or something which makes game easier for survivors if the do know where the Nurse can't blink etc. Sometimes, you can't use M1 or M2 after binking, which is very annoying.
Secondly, her addons are just trushy instead of range and recharge ones. I do have a suggestion for her new-old addons which could make her slightly better and more fun:
COMMON ADDONS:
Wooden Horse: Moderately reduces extra post-blink fatigue from missed attacks by 50% or 0.5 seconds.
Plaid Flannel: Allows The Nurse to see Blink Target Locations.
Metal Spoon: Slightly increases the maximum Blink range and charge time by 10% or 2 meters and 0.2 seconds.
White Nit Comb: Slightly decreases your blink recharge time by 15% or 0.45 seconds.
UNCOMMON ADDONS:
Pocket Watch: Moderately increases chain blink window duration by 13%.
Dull Bracelet: Blink attacks apply Mangled status effect until healed.
Dark Cinture: Moderately decreases your blink recharge time by 20% or 0.6 seconds.
Catatonic Boy's Treasure: Moderately decreases Nurse's total fatigue time by 15%.
1 blink = 1.7 seconds
Chain blink = + 0,425 seconds
Lunge = +0,85 seconds
Bad Man Keepsake: Moderately increases the maximum Blink range and charge time by 15% or 3 meters and 0.3 seconds. stacks.
RARE ADDONS:
Spasmodic Breath: Slightly increases blink movement speed. Decreases reappearance time by 9%. stacks.
Heavy Panting: Considerably increases the maximum Blink range and charge time by 20% or 4 meters and 0.4 seconds. stacks.
Fragile Wheeze: Considerably decreases blink recharge time by 30% or 0.9 seconds.
Ataxic Respiration: Moderately increases blink movement speed ( Decreases reappearance time by 12%). Slightly decreases blink maximum range and charge time by 10% or 2 meters and 0.2 seconds. Decreases reappearance time by 12%. Stacks.
Anxious Gasp: Adds 1 additional blink charge. The Nurse can no longer blink to the places behind her line of sight. ( works as current torn bookmark ). Does not stack.
VERY RARE ADDONS:
Kavanagh's Last Breath: Tremendously increases blink max range and charge time by 30% or 6 meters and 0.6 seconds.
Jenner's Last Breath: Moderately increases blink maximum range and charge time by 3 meters and 0.3 seconds. Moderately decreases blink recharge time by 20% or 0.6 seconds. Slightly
"Bad Man's" Last Breath: Tremendously decreases your blink recharge time by 50% or 1.5 seconds.
Campbell's Last Breath: Adds 1 additional blink charge. Slightly decreases blink maximum range by 10% or 2 meters. ( It changes your mental memory )
ULTRA RARE ADDONS
Matchbox: The Nurse can see survivors aura within 8 meters of her during chain blink window. Slighlty decreases chain blink window duration by 10%
Torn Bookmark: Adds 1 additional blink charge. Does not stack.
What do you think about the changes ? Do you have another suggestions ? Let me know in the comments section!
Love you guys!

Eeeeeeh, honestly she's still the best killer even if 'unfun' (sometimes) because of the recharge. Giving her again a third blink would be extremely broken. I like your ideas, but in practice they would bust her again too much
Also the matchbox, even though I really like the idea, it reaaaally would make her too strong, even though it would make her so much fun to play in maps like lery's or the game with some stealth build
Also, unfortunately it seems like devs like @Almo and bhvr in general forgot that nurse even exists. There's a very thorough thread in the bugs section that explains most of her bugs, some of which game breaking, that have been therr since her nerf. Midwich has a whole corridor where she cannot blink, it's a huge deadzone, same for the clock tower. And deadzones are spread out in other maps too. None of this has been addressed and fixed throughout the years

As the commenter above me pointed out, the developers basically forgot that Nurse exists. They didnt even bother to fully finish the most recent map for her (Midwich), and havent made efforts to fix that any time soon.
Nurse is a dead killer now. The developers made sure of that.

Yes, they have forgotten about the Nurse, they should pay more attention on the community and players suggestions. Also I think these addons are pretty good, Nurse should also have toxic addons. She can have 3 blinks now but everyone knows how to counter it. These changes will turn it into a huge questionmark. 'Can she blink trough walls or not ?' Players should show devs 'Hey, the Nurse still exist and she does need help!', let's do it

The addons are honestly pretty fine. They should only reverse the CD addon nerfs and fix her bugs.
