Nurse Ackerman is a major character in The Man in Room 1280, the third story in Fazbear Frights 5: Bunny Call. She is the cold head nurse of the hospice wing in Heracles Hospital. She can also be considered an antagonist, as she opposes Arthur.
Physical Appearance[]
Nurse Ackerman is a tall, sharp-edged woman with too many teeth and an unsettling dark-eyed gaze. She is very skinny with a bony back. Nurse Ackerman also has a large mole under her left eye. Her dark blue uniform pants are too short, revealing her black socks and an inch or so of white skin between them and the hem of her pants.
Personality[]
Nurse Ackerman is cut off from her emotions, making her dismissive and unfriendly. She never smiles and is stern with other nurses in the hospice wing, constantly firing orders. Despite the death of her son leaving her heart broken, Nurse Ackerman has a desire to help others who have to walk in her shoes.
History[]
Nurse Ackerman lived a fairly normal life until her son Elijah died. After this, she became cold and detached from others who constantly reminded her of the life she had once shared with her son. Despite her frozen heart, she went on to become a hospice nurse to help others who had to be in her situation. As of the events of The Man in Room 1280, she is the head nurse of the hospice wing in Heracles Hospital. She meets Arthur Blythe a week prior to the events of the story, only giving him a room name.
When Arthur returns, she, Nurse Thomas, and Nurse Colton watch from the window of room 1280. They can help but feel observed and judged by the evil they believe is in the room, but they don't believe Arthur will understand them until he sees for himself. Once he enters the building, Nurse Ackerman leads him down a long hallway towards room 1280. On the way, she explains that the man has been on life support for years before the state took him off, but he wouldn't die. Every time Arthur attempts to ask a question, Nurse Ackerman snaps at him. Once they reach room 1280, Nurse Ackerman explains no family has claimed the man, he has no records, his DNA doesn't match any in existing databases, and he has brain function as shown by a monitor displaying a REM sleep pattern. That particular REM pattern indicates horrific nightmares, and Nurse Ackerman smiles at that fact. Nurse Ackerman is called to room 907, and when she comes back she notices that Arthur is in shock over an icy raw feeling that others have felt too.
Nurse Ackerman explains that herself, Nurse Thomas, and Nurse Colton all believe that there is evil inside the man. She shows Arthur three brain scan images that show coronal, sagittal, and cross-sectional scans. The signals in all three aren't coherent, but the man shows no sign of tumors or brain damage so doctors believe each lobe of the man's brain had two distinct electromagnetic signals. This is unheard of, and the conclusion the nurses come to is that there are two entities fighting for control of the man's brain, tormenting each other. Arthur insists that there's good in the man, much to Nurse Ackerman's frustration. Later, she decides to test the new nurse, Mia Fremont, by talking about the man and Arthur in the break room while she ate. Mia only eavesdrops on he conversation, which makes Nurse Ackerman distrust her.
When Nurse Ackerman returns to room 1280, she is horrified to see Arthur writing down letters being spelled out by the man with his finger. She tries to convince Arthur that communicating with him isn't a good idea. Arthur remains persistent, and Nurse Ackerman leaves to get Nurse Thomas and Nurse Colton. When they return, the man and Arthur are nearly done, and they watch in silence as the man spells out FAZBENTERDISCENTER. Arthur concludes the man wants to go to a Distribution Center and asks for a phone book to look up FAZB ENTER, but Nurse Thomas figures out it means Fazbear Entertainment. Now knowing it spells out Fazbear Entertainment Distribution Center, Arthur questions why the location is important to the man and learns he wants to go there. When the nurses say the only place the man can go is hell, all of the monitors go crazy. Nurse Ackerman tells Arthur that taking the man to the distribution center is impossible.
Nurse Ackerman later does research on Fazbear Entertainment and learns that the distribution center is its central hub for all Fazbear-related toys, costumes, and decor. Certain that the evil inside the man was planning something, Nurse Ackerman, Nurse Thomas, and Nurse Colton meet up the next day in a storage room They all agree that the man must be exterminated, and Nurse Ackerman decides that she'll be the one to do it because she's the head nurse. Two days later, Nurse Ackerman acquires thirteen vials of morphine and attempts to inject them into the man. When she injects the second vial into the man, she begins to hear giggling and the smell in the room gets worse. She reaches for the third vial when she sees a little black-haired boy standing next to her. He runs out of the room and Nurse Ackerman tries to focus, but she is thrown back into her past, remembering the time she lost Elijah. She snaps out of it, but is once again thwarted as a child-sized shadow (presumably the same entity) flashes in front of her and throws the vials off the bed and onto the floor.
Later that night, Nurse Ackerman reports to Nurse Thomas and Nurse Colton what she saw. They all agree that the boy and shadow are the evil inside the man, and it has somehow gotten out. Nurse Ackerman wants to try again, but Nurse Thomas comes up with a different plan. Her plan fails, and Nurse Ackerman and Nurse Colton have to spend hours cleaning up the room and Nurse Thomas. Ultimately, all three are unable to kill the man before Arthur manages to remove him from the hospital.
