Like any other blood sample, they are only good for a certain length of time.
If you had three positive tests, that sounds very definite to me. The hormones that cause a pregnancy test to go positive are volatile and can decrease over time if a sample is stored too long.
Get that nurse to take a fresh sample and test by her method since you seem to trust her.
Also, have you tried any urine tests? Your urine contains the same hormone as a blood test and are equally as accurate after the start date of your missed period. There are even urine tests that can screen for pregnancy days before the period is supposed to come with less accuracy than the others, but still reliable 75% of the time.
-good luck-
