practice nurse
Doctor's office helper
A practice nurse is a registered nurse who works in a general medical practice or clinic rather than a hospital.
Practice nurses handle routine care—vaccinations, wound dressing, health screenings, and chronic disease management like diabetes monitoring.
The term is primarily British; American equivalents include office nurse or clinic nurse.
