You probably got ahold of one that had already been used twice.  However, I
have heard a rumor about the fourth wish, so keep trying.  I don't think the
dead nurse had anything to do with it, unless you killed her.  Unicorns like
gems, but only the real McCoy.  They are hard to get to, but I found that 
teleport and tele-control help.

You have the right intentions, and perhaps you have run across a bug.  Are
you sure you were wearing the ring of tele-control at the time of reading
the scroll?

Unicorns like gems.  If you have not identified it, they will take it, if
you have identified it, and it is worthless, they won't like it, and if it
is good, they will really reward you for it.

What to do with unicorns:  throw a gem at them, worthless or priceless is
irrelevant.  You can do it from a distance.

Well, I don't believe that killing
nurses affects your luck.  Eating them
or a dead human does, however.

About that wishing wand:Did it say
"Nothing Happens" or "Unfortunately
Nothing Happens" when you zapped it?
"Unfortunately" means your luck is bad,
while nothing happens means it's empty(
you can usually get another wish if
you zap it enough times, however.)

Try feeding the unicorns any gem that
you have not identified as worthless.
That should make both it and you quite
happy.

Sorry for the awkward answers, but here's
another one:  Sometimes booze does not
confuse you enough to screw up your
scroll reading.  The only sure way is
to drink a potion of confusion.  Make
sure you're fire resistant first, before
you teleport down!

 I've tried (in 1.02) to throw previously-identified pieces of
 worthless glass at unicorns, and I get the message:

 "The unicorn is not interested in your worthless junk."

I've heard that a wand of cancellation will return such a piece
of glass back into an unidentified gem, which will then be
acceptable. Haven't tried it yet.

-Eric Nyberg (ehn0%gte-labs@csnet-relay)

While playing the other day someone was hacking it out with the wizard and
commented to me that an unidentified gem raises your luck a *little*.
However, if you identify  gem and it is *not* a worthless peice of glass
it raises you luck alot ( I think she said 4 points but I'm not sure).
now I Identified some gems and when you through worthless glass at a unicorn
they skoff at you 'the unicorn doesn't want your junk!'. so identifying gems
can be a curse in that once you've identified the gems they will never raise
you luck it they are worthless.
