Should I ask for a different nurse or should I change my provider because I know the nurse?
Me and this nurse used to work together years ago and we have mutual people that we know. I see a doctor in that office and I have notice each time I go there she is my nurse even if my provider changed, she still my nurse. She is a nice person but I just don't feel comfortable talking about my personal stuff with her because I know her.
Can I ask for a different nurse? but if she found out I asked for a different nurse she would feel strange about it. Should I just go to a different office for my regular check up? Regular check ups they asked a lot of personal question and some questions they don't even need to be asking. I just need my regular health checked that's it

Has she seen you naked? If not then it’s not a big deal.

If there's more than one nurse at the office you can ask to see another nurse citing that you know each other socially. I would have thought that she would recuse herself anyways citing the same reason. I've done the same with a GP at a new practice. I went into the appointment room and found an old university drinking buddy. We both laughed, he said to wait a few minutes while he went to see if another GP was free to see me, we promised to catch up some time and I got a new doctor. No drama and nobody felt bad. This is normal, unless you live in a very small town where everybody really does know everybody's business.

If she is a professional, she will understand perfectly well why you are asking for a different nurse. And yes, you should do so.
If no other nurse is available, you might want to find another doctor.

If you're that sensitive about it, change doctors. Even if you speak with another nurse, she still has access to your medical records and would know everything anyway.

it’s a time in which you need to be totally open and straightforward with your doctor/nurse and if it’s inhibiting you from doing so then yes i think it’d be wise to ask for a different nurse. it’s about your comfort and if you’re not comfortable with it then you shouldn’t have to go through it.
