The nurses and other NPCs are just there for illusion. Virtually, the entire game is centered around that kind of thing, where everything that happens is just to give you the fake impression that this is a lively world, when it is not.
I would have liked to see legitimate, actual reasons to communicate and work with those other NPCs in the hospital, but the only use they have is completing a checklist in the corner of your screen. That's mobile-like gameplay; no depth whatsoever.
Not just the hospital....
And this problem stems from the NPC's not having lives and an AI of their own. Every action is scripted according to the place sims are in. It's like the game is constantly telling them "go idle chat", "go play guitar", "go ask for drinks". It won't matter if the npc sim has low social or what it's just scripted. They didn't use this method so much on TS3 and TS2, or the system worked differently, because regardless of place, sims would still do their own shenanigans, and now they don't. It's like the sims are the background of their own game lol
