Emergencies and health · HSK 3
"Please get me a nurse" in Chinese is 请叫护士来 (Qǐng jiào hùshi lái). 护士 (hùshi) is 'nurse'; the 士 is neutral tone in Mainland speech but sometimes fourth tone in Taiwan. Chinese hospital wards usually have a 护士站 (hùshi zhàn, nurses' station) and most rooms have a call button (呼叫按钮, hūjiào ànniǔ) next to the bed; press that first if you can.

When to use it
护士 (hùshi) is 'nurse'; the 士 is neutral tone in Mainland speech but sometimes fourth tone in Taiwan. Chinese hospital wards usually have a 护士站 (hùshi zhàn, nurses' station) and most rooms have a call button (呼叫按钮, hūjiào ànniǔ) next to the bed; press that first if you can. If you need to flag someone in the hallway, 麻烦您 (máfan nín) at the front softens the request; a bare 叫护士 can sound abrupt when you're not in acute distress.
