Answer 5 questions and I will match you to the Maple Hospital role that fits your playstyle — Doctor, Nurse, Pharmacist, Vet, or Janitor — with XP rates and a salary comparison from my own logged sessions.
Covers: priority · social preference · experience level · career target · session length
Q1.What matters most to you right now in Maple Hospital?
Q2.How much do you want to interact with other players?
Q3.How experienced are you with Maple Hospital?
Q4.Where do you want to end up long-term?
Q5.How long is a typical session for you?
Each answer assigns points to one or more roles using a weighted scoring system across five dimensions. The role with the highest total points is your match. I weighted experience level and career target most heavily because they are the strongest predictors of satisfaction in my testing.
New players who started with Surgeon — because it has the highest XP ceiling — consistently reported frustration. Surgeon depends on OR Nurse availability that beginners cannot control. On a quiet server I recorded Surgeon dropping to 195 XP/hr, which is worse than free Nurse. The quiz steers inexperienced players away from server-dependent roles for exactly that reason.
The quiz is not a guarantee — use it as a starting hypothesis and adjust after your first 3–4 sessions. If Pharmacist feels slow, try Doctor. If Doctor feels high-pressure, Vet Clinic is a calmer alternative at similar XP rates.

These numbers come from my own logged sessions in May 2026 — at least three 30-minute sessions per role, median reported. Exact figures vary by server activity (±10–15%).
| Role | Unlock | XP/hr | Income | Difficulty | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nurse | Free (Lv 0) | 180/hr | Low–Med | Beginner | Start here. Deepest tree. |
| Doctor | Lv 10 | 320/hr | Med–High | Easy | Single biggest early jump. |
| Paramedic | Lv 15 | 200/hr | Medium | Easy | Server-dependent queue. |
| Surgeon | Lv 25 | 350/hr | High | Moderate | Needs OR Nurse support. |
| Veterinarian | Lv 30 | 210/hr | Medium | Moderate | Quiet, consistent pace. |
| Pharmacist | Lv 35 | 215/hr | Medium | Moderate | Steadiest income, low variance. |
| Radiologist | Lv 40 | 220/hr | Med–High | Moderate | Good for solo-focused play. |
| Janitor | Free (Lv 0) | 40/hr | Low | Beginner | AFK and relaxed only. |

Nurse is where every new player should start, and I mean that with data behind it. I spent 8 sessions as Nurse on my main account before switching to Doctor at Level 10. The XP rate of 180 XP/hr held remarkably steady across different servers — I never dropped below 165 XP/hr even on quiet evenings. The Pediatric Nurse specialization at Level 5 adds a distinct patient type that keeps the gameplay loop fresh long before you hit Level 10. For players who like social roleplay, Nurse has the most natural conversation hooks with patient characters — questions about symptoms, treatment confirmations, handoff communication with Doctor. The depth surprised me.
Doctor is the role I recommend most players make their primary from Level 10 through Level 50, and the data supports it. At 320 XP/hr it nearly doubles the free Nurse rate. The more important advantage is area access: the Operating Room and Anesthesia bay are Doctor and Surgeon only. No other free-access role gets into those areas. I've had sessions in the Anesthesia bay where the XP hit 340–355 XP/hr because surgical procedures pay out above the standard consultation rate. Doctor also holds up on quiet servers better than Surgeon — I never saw Doctor drop below 280 XP/hr even on near-empty servers. That floor consistency matters more for most players than Surgeon's theoretical ceiling.
Pharmacist at Level 35 is the most underrated role in the game, in my view. The XP number looks mediocre at 215 XP/hr — less than Surgeon, less than Doctor. But here is what the number does not capture: Pharmacist income variance across my sessions was ±12 XP/hr, the tightest of any role I tested. Prescription fills pay a fixed fee per transaction. The queue runs continuously regardless of whether there is an OR Nurse on duty, a Doctor in casualty, or anyone coordinating anything. For players who care more about consistent income than peak XP, Pharmacist wins. I particularly recommend it for shorter sessions (15–20 minutes) where you want predictable output without a 10-minute warmup window.
Veterinarian is the 'quiet corner' of Maple Hospital — and some players will love that. The Vet Clinic wing is physically separate from the main hospital floor, which means significantly less competition for cases and a noticeably different atmosphere. XP rate is solid at 210 XP/hr, roughly comparable to Pharmacist. What makes Vet distinct is the session feel: I played two consecutive 1-hour Vet sessions and found it considerably less draining than equivalent Doctor time. The patient types are different (animal cases versus human medical conditions), the ward is less crowded, and the pace lets you settle into a rhythm. If you have been grinding Doctor for weeks and want a change without sacrificing progression, Vet is the switch I would recommend.
Testing methodology
All XP rates are medians from a minimum of three 30-minute timed sessions per role, played on servers with at least 8 active players. I recorded the XP bar position at session start and end, converted to XP/hr, and ran each role for at least three separate sessions before reporting the median. Peak and floor figures come from the highest and lowest single sessions within the test set.
Income consistency measurements used the same sessions, tracking currency earned per task rather than per minute. Pharmacist income variance (±12 XP/hr) was calculated across five sessions on different server sizes. No developer-published XP tables exist — these are community-sourced estimates confirmed through my own in-game testing.

It depends on your goals. Nurse is the best starting role — free, earns 180 XP/hr, and reaches Level 10 fast. Doctor at Level 10 is the single biggest jump at 320 XP/hr. Pharmacist at Level 35 is the most consistent money-earner. If I had to pick one role for most players, it is Doctor: unlock it as fast as possible through Nurse and keep it as your main through Level 50.
Pharmacist gives the most consistent income per session. Prescription queues run steadily regardless of server activity, unlike Surgeon whose income depends on OR support. Surgeon has a higher ceiling on a perfect server (380 XP/hr) but a much lower floor on quiet servers (can drop to 195 XP/hr). Pharmacist's narrow variance across my sessions makes it the reliable money-earner.
Start as Nurse, switch to Doctor at Level 10. Nurse earns 180 XP/hr free and reaches Level 10 in around 8 sessions (about 4 hours). The moment you switch to Doctor your XP rate jumps to 320 XP/hr. Splitting time with Receptionist early — as I did on my first account — costs you roughly 40% of your XP rate during those sessions.
Nurse or Pharmacist. Both have consistent short-loop tasks that do not require long coordination cycles. Surgeon frustrates short sessions because the first 10 minutes can be setup time. Doctor is solid for 30-45 minute sessions. Janitor is fine if you are doing something else simultaneously — but do not use it for XP grinding.
The quiz uses a weighted five-dimension scoring system based on 20+ hours of testing. It is a starting hypothesis, not a guarantee — five questions cannot capture every nuance of your playstyle. What it reliably does is prevent common beginner mistakes: it will not send new players to Surgeon or Paramedic where server dependency can kill the experience. Use the result as your starting point and adjust after your first few sessions.
