My sister is a nurse in the UK and is always talking about “senior sisters”, and “junior sisters” in her workplace. She is an ER nurse in a hospital, and I was wondering what the term sister refers to?
Q: What does the term “sister” refer to in the UK?

I believe that the term sister refers to a more senior nurse within a unit. Check out this article I found about the UK no longer seeing the term “sister” as an acceptable title. Make sure to check out the comments section as well, it seems people have very interesting opinios on the topic.
