Hi

At work we have a regular meeting for all the registered nurses. When writing about this meeting, do I refer to it as nurses' meetings or just simply nurses meeting? The same goes for dentists' meetings or dentists meeting? It is for the whole group of nurses/dentists and not for one individual.

Many thanks
 
Welcome to the forums.

You are talking about an apostrophe not a comma


I would use the apostrophe.
At the nurses' meeting today, ...

(I think you know this, but nurse's would be one nurse, while nurses' is multiple nurses.)
