Nurse, single, getting over chap from La-La Land? (8)
I believe the answer is:
angeleno
'chap from la-la land?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'nurse single getting over' is the wordplay.
'nurse' becomes 'angel' (collins dictionary).
'single' becomes 'one' (I've seen this before).
'getting over' is a reversal indicator.
'one' backwards is 'eno'.
'angel'+'eno'='ANGELENO'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for angeleno that I've seen before include "Californian" , "US citizen)" , "Native of LA" , "North American citizen" , "Man from west coast" .)
