If you are a patient in a hospital, the person who comes to your room
that you refer to as the "nurse" may be an Aide or an LPN (licensed
practical nurse). You won't be able to tell if you can't read the
name tag. Nurses no longer wear the caps that they once so proudly
wore to identify their status and school of training.
When I spent my week in the hospital about 12 years ago, the people I
saw day-to-day were called "technicians". There was always a nurse (I'm
sure an RN) on duty, but it was a different one each shift (they worked
12 hours shifts). I would generally see the nurse for some period each
day.
