Virginia Alves was the Head Nurse for Haddonfield Memorial Hospital in 1978. On the night of Tuesday October 31, 1978, she oversaw the treatment of Laurie Strode's wounds alongside the hospital's chief physician Dr. Frederick Mixter. Mrs. Alves relays information concerning Laurie's parents' whereabouts. Morgan and Pamela Strode attended a Halloween party also visited by Dr. Mixter. Although Mixter had been drunk, he remembered seeing Laurie's parents there. Virginia tries tracking down Laurie's parents via telephone. When Laurie had been admitted as a patient, Mrs. Alves revealed to Laurie that during her attacks, she had cracked a bone when she injured her ankle.Mrs. Alves was a highly respected member of the medical staff; but employees under her watch, such as paramedics and nurses, would occasionally evade or sidestep her authority by bypassing her work station or when she cared for a patient. Mrs. Alves was an impressively observant woman quickly noticing that college student and part-time orderly Jimmy was falling for the seventeen-year-old Laurie.Virginia Alves died on October 31, 1978. Presumably, Michael Myers had attacked the head nurse (offscreen) and had drained her body completely of her blood. The orderly Jimmy had located Mrs. Alves in an operating room whilst searching for a missing Laurie. Upon departing the room, Jimmy slipped on a puddle of her blood and was knocked unconscious.* In the Halloween Comics, Mrs. Alves' given name was Patricia, even though her character name was long ago established as Virginia Alves.
