ward nurse
Unit floor attendant
A ward nurse is a nurse who works on a hospital ward—a section or floor dedicated to patients with similar conditions or needs.
The term emphasizes location rather than specialty: The ward nurse checked vitals every four hours.
In British usage especially, ward nurse distinguishes floor nurses from those in operating theaters or outpatient clinics.
