The County Nurse was the 56th episode filmed and the 56th episode aired of The Andy Griffith Show. (S2.E24)

We’ll play Mayberry trivia all about “The County Nurse.”

Plot Summary The County Nurse:

Mary Simpson, the first of the county nurses, enlists Andy’s help in getting Rafe Hollister to submit to a tetanus shot. Rafe refuses until Andy, using the old reverse psychology trick, gets Rafe to change his mind by serenading him with a song that Andy plans to sing at Rafe’s funeral.

We’ll review some notes and “Odd Facts Known by Few” related to the episode The County Nurse.

We’ll go over the answers for the trivia questions and try a few questions from the 2026 Mayberry – I Love Lucy Festival.
