nurse's office

Student health room

A nurse's office is a room in a school or workplace staffed by a nurse to handle minor medical needs—headaches, scrapes, fevers, medication.

Students sent to the nurse's office might be genuinely ill or just seeking a break from class: I told my teacher I felt sick so I could lie down in the nurse's office.
