Nurse Cramer is a character in Joseph Heller's novel Catch-22.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Nurse Cramer is the best friend of Nurse Duckett and after Nurse Duckett starts a relationship with Yossarian, puritanical Nurse Cramer stops speaking to her. However, Nurse Cramer does keep herself at a 10-yard distance from the two whenever they find themselves at the beach. When Nurse Duckett spends her free time with Yossarian and his friends, Nurse Cramer never leaves them. She swims when they swim, and laughs when they laugh, and when they go back to the beach, she goes back to her spot from where she can overlook them. During this portion of the book, Nurse Cramer is described as being snooty and aloof.
