nursing station

Ward's medical center

A nursing station is the central work area on a hospital floor where nurses coordinate patient care, maintain records, and monitor equipment.

It typically features a counter or desk positioned for visibility of patient rooms.

In remote regions of Canada, nursing station also refers to a small healthcare facility serving isolated communities, staffed primarily by nurses rather than physicians: The nursing station serves three First Nations communities.
