I don't think there's a flower that "represents" nursing, but a
Geranium means "comfort", and a Peony means "healing."
Then I found this:
Lily of The Valley
A tribute to the Student Nurses was written by Paul Lawrence Dunbar after he was a patient at Miami Valley Hospital.
Sweetest of the flowers a-blooming
In the fragrant vernal days
Is the Lily of the Valley
With its soft retiring ways.
Well you chose this humble blossom
As the Nurse's emblem flower,
Who grows more like her ideal
Every day and every hour.
Like the Lily of The Valley
In her honesty and worth
Ah, she blooms in truth and virture
In the quiet nooks of earth.
Tho' she stands erect in honor
When the heart of mankind bleeds,
She still hides her own deserving
In the beauty of her deeds.
In the silence of the darkness
Where no eye may see or know,
There her footsteps shod with mercy,
And fleet kindness come and go.
Not amid the sounds of plaudits,
Nor before the garish days,
Does she shed her soul's sweet perfume,
Does she take her gentle way.
But alike her ideal flower
With its honey-laden breath
Still her heart blooms forth its beauty
In the valley shades of death.

Is the Lily of the Valley the flower that represents nurses? I don't know, but this is a great poem for anyone in the profession.
Hope this helps!
