Nurse Redheart is a female Earth pony who works as a nurse at Ponyville Hospital. She has a white coat, pink mane and tail, blue eyes, and a cutie mark of a red medical cross with a pink heart in each corner. She wears a nurse's cap that bears an emblem with the same design as her cutie mark. She is unnamed in the show, but is named in merchandise and other media.
Design
Nurse Redheart shares her design with "Nurse Tenderheart" and an Earth pony mare shown on Hasbro's My Little Pony Facebook page,[2] and she shares the same coat, mane, and eye colors as the G1 Earth pony Nurse Sweetheart, though they do not have the same cutie mark.
Depiction in the series
Nurse Redheart makes her first appearance in Applebuck Season alongside "Nurse Tenderheart", tending to sick ponies in a medical ward. She thanks Twilight Sparkle for coming to the ward and says "we need all the help we can get" while a pan shot of the overcrowded ward shows multiple sick ponies lying in beds or on the floor curled up and squirming, with Nurse Tenderheart standing by one's bedside.
She later appears in the episode Baby Cakes at the hospital nursery. She tells Pinkie Pie to quiet down several times when Pinkie tries to sing to the newborn Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake right in the nursery. When Pinkie doesn't comply, she forcefully pushes her back to the visiting area where the rest of her friends are. Nurse Redheart is depicted as impatient with troublemakers, but at the same time caring for the babies she is looking after.
After a rather lengthy absence, Redheart makes a background appearance as an audience member of the operating room in Where the Apple Lies.

In the Canterlot Nights expansion set of Enterplay's collectible card game, Nurse Redheart's card #95 R gives her the description "Nurse Redheart has impeccable bedside manner, but she doesn't extend that courtesy to visitors who disturb her patients!"
