Spanish term or phrase: llamando continuamente a las auxiliares
Se trata de la habitación de un hospital en el que la mujer del paciente se ve obligada a llamar durante la noche constantemente a las auxiliares. Me interesa sobre todo como traducir auxiliares, no se trata de enfermeras. Al parecer los términos ingleses son, entre otros: "nurses aides", o "nurses assistants" y quizás simplemente "aides/assistants".

Le estoy dando vueltas a la siguiente traducción del término:

"constantly calling in the nurses' aides/assistants".

agree  Andy Schwieter: Nurses' aides is what most lay people would say, whereas employees in the hospital would probably say "patient care technicians."
