It was also stated that Sharona was a registered nurse before becoming Monk's practical nurse. In "Mr. Monk and the Captain's Wife", Sharona noted that she was a resident nurse and interned with the doctors who were going to operate on Stottlemeyer's wife. In "Mr. Monk Gets Fired", after Monk's investigation license is temporarily suspended, she temporarily returns to work as a nurse. When Sharona returns in season 8 for "Mr. Monk and Sharona", she has re-divorced Trevor, and is now an administrator at a veterans hospital in New Jersey.
