McMurphy was idolised on the ward, eventually. First impressions of him weren't great but the real turning point was the debate regarding the world series baseball competition. McMurphy tried to lift the basin in order to try to escape, he knew and the other patients knew he couldn't and wouldn't do it, but he tried and they admired him for that. From then on McMurphy was the guy everyone wanted to be.
"Though Ratched tries to give McMurphy a fate worse than death by having him lobotomized, Bromden dignifies McMurphy by killing him, assuring that McMurphy will always be a symbol of resistance instead of a lingering cautionary tale for future patients on Ratched's ward." -Sparknotes

In Ken Kesey's "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," McMurphy's seemingly harmless activity of playing cards and engaging the other patients in games disturbs the ward because it disrupts the established order and authority maintained by Nurse Ratched. His behavior encourages the patients to assert their individuality and resist the oppressive environment, which threatens the control she has over them. This challenge to the status quo creates tension and ultimately leads to significant conflict within the ward.
McMurphy doesn't escape because he is, in a literary sense, Jesus Christ. From the beginning, McMurphy was a tragic character; the martyr archetype. Like Christ during the last supper, he planned to escape with his Appstles, or the other patients, but the person who was supposed to awaken him before he was to be crusified, failed to do his job. In this novel, the crusifixtion of Christ is portrayed when McMurphy is lobotomized. The religious symbols in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest allow the reader to make predictions about the plotline, however of one does not know the story of Christ, then these parellels are useless. By knowing the journey of Christ, you know that McMurphy will never escape the ward just as Christ never escaped crusifixtion.
The chief realizes that the new admission, McMurphy, is not an ordinary patient because of his rebellious and non-conformist behavior that challenges the authority and routines of the mental institution. McMurphy's actions and interactions with the other patients quickly make him stand out as a disruptive force in the ward.
In Ken Kesey's "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," the Japanese nurse, known as Nurse Ratched, employs a strict and authoritarian approach to manage the disturbed ward. She uses manipulation and intimidation to maintain control over the patients, including McMurphy and Chief Bromden. Her methods involve psychological tactics, such as public humiliation and strict adherence to rules, which serve to suppress any form of rebellion or individuality. This creates a tense atmosphere that highlights the power dynamics between the staff and the patients.
