The nurse's immediate action should be to evacuate Mrs. George from the room to a safe location, away from the fire and any potential harm. This is the priority to ensure her safety and well-being. Once she is in a safe location, the nurse can then pull the fire alarm, use the call bell to get assistance or use the extinguisher to put out the fire, depending on the severity of the situation and the facility's policies and procedures.
