I have searched several sources but none seem to tell me what a link nurse is. Link nurses are utilized in countries like Japan or countries in Europe. I don’t think there are any in the United States.

I’m not sure if our “link nurses” here in the U.S. are what you are talking about but “link nurses” are nurses who work for Nurse Link. Nurse Link is a community service where people can call a toll free number to get medical help or advice from nurses trained to triage their issues. Those that need medical help would then be referred to a doctor or specialist with the appointment being made for them or, if necessary, told to go to the local ER.
The service also provides seminars, health fairs and other community services.
