To the OP:
Your daughter needs a fairly basic watch. And that's because she's going to not end up wearing it outside work. And remember what she'll need for her work.
She needs a watch that has:
1. A second hand that sweeps the face (hence the term sweep second hand in this case) as opposed to no second hand at all or a dial-type second hand inset in the face, commonly found on chronograph-type watches. Movement type is irrelevant since the use of the second hand is to take pulses, not ultra precise time measurment.
2, Has good water resistance. She's going to be washing her hands dozens upon dozens of times per day, so the watch is inevitably going to be exposed to a fair bit of water. It'll also get the unexpected exposures to, to be polite, other bodily "juices". So it's got to be fairly water resistant...that and it will have to be rinsed off once in a while.
3. Visibility of the hands is important. Nice to be able to pick up the second hand at a glance instead of actually "looking" for it.
4. I'd suggest a dial with indicators for, at a minimum, every hour. Even better is a face with minute marks, but a ladies' watch's face is typically very small, making that hard to find. Without minute marks, doing a 6 sec. count is interesting.
Honestly, during the few decades I spent in nursing, the women gravitated towards cheap Timexes and the like. In fact, I saw more than a few that wore simple round Timex watches, the kind with the white face, black hands, black/red second hand, minute marked. Very utilitarian, but very functional for the environment in which they were used.
But that's the point...the watch isn't for looks, fashion, to be worn out for the evening. It's to be a functional watch for her work environment, so I'd start with that point of view and begin my search.
