Is Friday prayer obligatory for a nurse on duty in the emergency department on Friday, knowing that the department receives accident and emergency cases 24 hours a day?

If your work in the hospital requires your presence at the time of Friday prayer due to potential emergencies, then there is no harm in you remaining in the hospital. You will be excused from attending the Friday prayer, and you should pray Dhuhr as four rak'ahs.
