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 varying cutie mark at least of a medical cross with a heart in each corner. She wears a nurse's cap that bears an emblem with the same design as her cutie mark.
Design[]
Nurse Redheart shares her design with "Nurse Tenderheart" and an Earth pony mare shown on Hasbro's My Little Pony Facebook page,[1] 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 in Applebuck Season.
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.
Redheart makes a background appearance as an audience member of the operating room in Where the Apple Lies. She also appears at the beginning of A Flurry of Emotions consulting Twilight about her upcoming visit to the sick foals at Ponyville Hospital. The latter episode's credits name her as in previous materials.
In season nine's final episode The Last Problem, Nurse Redheart briefly appears in Fluttershy's group shot during The Magic of Friendship Grows.
Redheart's background appearance in Where the Apple Lies reappears in Harvesting Memories.
Depiction in Equestria Girls[]
Nurse Redheart's human counterpart appears as the Canterlot High school nurse treating Applejack's injured hand in the Choose Your Own Ending short Constructive Criticism. Here, her cross is purple instead of red. She also appears in the hour-long special My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Forgotten Friendship being interrogated by Trixie as she takes Bulk Biceps' temperature.

do pony pay taxes?
I mean they have an army and pay bits for things so I would assume they have tax on things they buy if they don't pay them directly.
I think you should change a picture of her human form, because her cross is red instead of purple since "Forgotten Friendship".
hay nurse red heart you should be on vinyl collectible and hugo strange would make a good arch nemsis for you but i would keep an i on him from noah
How come Redheart doesn’t have a personality section?
Backgrounds characters tend not to have that much depth.
hi my name is Noah my favolte pony is nures red heart she is nice she is cool and she want's oter ponyies to get better she shoule be in a death battle nures red heart vs Dr hugo Strange From Noah
Why do background ponies or secondary ponies cutie marks have changed or have been edited for unknown reasons?
It's illegal to use the Red Cross on anything other than medical equipment.
That way, soldiers in war zones don't get ambushed by fake medics.
To add to King's comment this only became a law recently like after red heart's first appearance in the early 2010's, in the U.S at least not sure about anywhere else. that's what say older video games or movies still used a red cross in health-related things. so when the law came into place they changed it but thanks to reasons they were allowed to leave her red cross the way it was in any episode she appeared in before the law came into effect.
Why did they change her cutie mark? Were they afraid of a lawsuit from the American Red Cross?
Where did it say her cutie mark has changed? There's nowhere on this page says her cutie mark changed.
Look at the infobox. Compare her appearance in S7E3 to her previous appearances. Maybe the American Red Cross made them change, like they have with video games and other uses of red crosses.
Maybe we should update the header image, or make a new image for comparison.
No it has everything to do with the law, some time in the 2010's a law was passed that prohibited the use of the red cross on nonmedical things, now maybe you could use the symbol on fictional buildings I don't know. But the law prevents you from using it on people or in this case ponies in fictional media, like movies, cartoons and video games.
The reason it changed mid-season is simple the law wasn't enacted till after her first appearance, so they changed it when the law went into effect. But they were allowed to keep her appearance the way it was in older episodes before the law went into effect. however, if they were to do something like remastering the show or try to resell older episodes like say in new DVDs or something they would have to change it. much like how remakes of older video games change the red cross symbol to something else.
I think she should be appeared in Club Penguin or something.
One of the three nurses known in Equestria.
There's more than three nurses now.
I think this is another character that Hasbro borrowed the fan name for.
Hence this page having the category "Fan-named characters" on it.
I'm in love with this pony. I don't know why but I just am.
I agree with Jonny on this.
It's a shame she doesn't get alot of screen time.
Who doesn't want someone as adorable as her to have more screen time?!
Nurse Redheart is a medic.
She appears whenever a Pony get sick.
Simply put, no Pony has been sick on-screen as of lately.
And that's why she has fewer screen time.
I disagree with the merge; this article has enough content to stand on its own, so I think a mention on the Nurse ponies page, perhaps with a blurb, with a link to this as the main article will be good. (or the link in the See also section, like it is right now, would also work well, I feel)
Hmm... Hadn't occurred to me, but merging the two Nurse articles actually isn't a bad idea.
Her brushable figure's gonna be a Walgreen's exclusive - how appropriate (XD)
HellOOOOOOOOOOOOO, Nurse!!!
(Well, Somepony had to say it.)
Nostalgia.
She would be a good character in Equestria girls. Like in a medical scene where someones injured or something.
Like... the school nurse? XD
Redheart is one of my favorite background ponies.
Same here. Maybe even my most favorite.
she is a good nurse
