The little badge he clipped on his scrubs said Winchester, Dean R.N. when he dressed in the locker room of this Kansas hospital. He's getting ready to start his shift. He became a nurse to take care of people, to do his part to save the world. And to better able to take care of his brother, Sammy.

If he was really honest with himself, maybe it was a little bit for penance too. But he really did love helping these people. especially the kids!
And the best part of being a nurse and not a doctor, he could punch out any fucker who said being a nurse was gay.
Dean Winchester was not gay! Even if he was a nurse. He just didn't like that doctors needed that much school, couldn't punch a guy out without hearing "aren't you a doctor", and he really didn't want to work their hours.
Leaving the locker room and walking to the nurses station Dean was as usual the fist there of his shift. He smiles at the night nurse, a black woman in her fifties, "Hey Missy, how'd the night go?"
Dean was a favorite with all the female nurses so she smiled when answered "Things are fine around here but the man in 1040 might be developing an infection so watch him close. Floor is full today so rounds should be busy."
" Fun. Lets just hope that the ER doesn't get swamped or today might go to hell in a hand basket." Dean says as he collects charts for the doctors rounds. He does perk up when the only other male nurse on the floor, Nate, comes up smiling ear to ear. He almost burst out laughing when Missy says "Why do you look like the cat that ate the canary?"
"Cause he probably did. Who's canary was it?" Dean says with a smirk and a lewd gesture that earned him a blush from Missy and a secretive smile from Nate.
"Can it Winchester, whose gun I polish is none of your business. I'm here to spread som juicy gossip. We have a new doctor!" Nate practically squealed, "and he's hot and single!"
"Okay... She's married and I'm straight, how does this matter for anyone but you?"
"Well, fine then I won't invite you to the wedding, you... You, Debbie downer!" Nate says with fake hurt in his voice. "But seriously I don't think he's gay anyway, he wasn't checking me out in the cafe and we where literally right next to each other. But a boy can dream right."
"Sure Honey, but all the dreaming in the world won't help you if he straight." Missy laughed and started toward the lounge to change and leave. " you can fill me in on the rest later, I need sleep."
"Bye Missy." Both guys yelled. Then Dean said, "So you say your here to spill but I haven't learned anything."
"His name is Castiel Novak, he moved here from California but no one knows why, and he's only working here till he can open a practice." Nate says in a rush.
"Cool. Talk to me when you know what kinda sports he likes." Dean says as he walks into his first patients room. Nate keeps going to his own patients chuckling the whole way.
The patient was a 10 year old girl with a bad case of flu a dehydration. Dean remembered when they were younger and Sammy had had the flu. The fever had been awful but Dean had tried to keep fluids down him. He felt bad for this girl.
Just as he walked into the room he heard a deep slightly gravelly voice laughing along with the little girls. That voice made him stutter to a stop right as the man the voice belonged turned around and smiled.
"Well Stephanie it looks like we have another friend coming to visit. Since this is both our first days we should probably introduce ourselves. I'm Dr. Novak." Gravel voice says. "I'm Stephanie. What's your name?" Says a weak sounding mousy looking girl.
Dean hears his own voice say "I'm your nurse. My name is Dean." At the same time he feels his eyes sweep the doctors body. immediately he thinks I am not gay!
