Turn of phrase ...

As I was walking north up Seventh Avenue this morning, I saw a group of four female medical workers, dressed in blue scrubs and apparently headed for work.

What do you call a group of nurses, I wondered. It's a "flock of birds," a "pod of whales" or "a murder of crows."

Suddenly, it hit me: a ward of nurses.
