[edit] Plot
The story takes place in the Paradise Hospital, the forefront of elderly treatment. As a result of the founder's retirement, the two heirs cannot agree on which uniform the nurses should wear — one having a miko style, the other having a nun style. Amidst the fierce debate is Tatsuya Makishima, a doctor-in-training....

- A 24 year old nurse who places her patients first. She feels sorry for the other nurses who have to wear "strange uniforms", as she only has to wear the standard nurse uniform.
- Hitomi Ayukawa (鮎川 ひとみ?)
- A 27 year old doctor who wears the qipao. Opposed to both the miko uniform and the nun uniform, she proposed that the nurses should wear the "China Nurse" uniform. As none of the nurses actually wear her proposed uniform, she wears it herself.

[edit] Theme songs
[edit] Opening theme
- Miko Miko Nurse - Theme of Love (巫女みこナース・愛のテーマ Miko miko naasu - Ai no teema?)
- Lyrics: Kashiwagi Ruzarin
- Composer: Kashiwagi Ruzarin
- Vocals: Chu☆
This song is famous for its repetitive nature, especially the fast part at the end of the song which repeats the lyrics "Miko Miko Nurse!" several times, with one uploaded mix of the tune extending that one part to the length of 4 minutes.
In the English-speaking world, the song is best known through a flash animation made by Dwedit. The animation uses only the fast part at the end of the song and features incoherent appearances by various internet celebrities such as Stephen Hawking, Barney, Lain, Pikachu, Cheetahmen, Metroid, Kim Jong Il, Dr. Evil, Paige Fox, George W. Bush, Domo Kun, and Monica Lewinsky, among many others.
Recently, however, due to the sheer amount of video uploads, numerous Miko Miko Nurse anime music videos have been done, with one for Nurse Witch Komugi being the most infamous, due to the fact that the editors actually managed to do an effective video with an almost epileptic fit inducing sequence, in tune to the fast part of the song.
In Japan, aside from being an internet meme, the song was used in a commercial for a company called "Dwango" and the song has been available in some karaoke machines since December 27, 2005.
