A nurse can attack you in melee. However, if you are wearing no armor and wielding no weapon, the nurse will heal you. If you are fully healed, some hits from the nurse could raise your maximum HP.

If you encounter a nurse, and there are no other dangerous monsters nearby, the easiest way to strip yourself is to press [A] and select all of your armor, plus your wielded weapon, for removal. Then you can let the nurse start healing.

If you let many nurses heal you, for example by reverse-genociding nurses, then you are nurse dancing.

If you kill a nurse, and it leaves a corpse, you would be well advised to tin the remains, if eating human flesh is not cannibalism for you--or if you would be willing to endure the penalty to save your life. A tin of nurse meat will restore you to full hit points. You may wish to ensure the tin is blessed, so it will open in one turn (and be consumed in another, for a total of two turns).
