The honest truth is that sometimes characters will do what they will, regardless of what you had in mind for them. It seems that you may have developed your character to a point that he is capable of making his own decisions. I know it sounds farfetched, but it happens.

The best course of action might be to let the romance happen, but don't let it overshadow other important parts of your story. Romance as a subplot is common in literature and media and is a useful tool for character development.

If you are determined to keep romance out of your story, you could try replacing the nurse with a male character, a doctor, perhaps. While this doesn't completely negate the possibility of a romantic relationship, it might make it easier to create a bond between them that is platonic.
