Answer:

The given sentence can be written in two ways:

Neither the Doctors nor the nurse is at the hospital.

                                    (OR)

• The sentence which uses ‘Neither’... ‘nor’ and ‘either’ ...’or’ are called as correlative conjunctions.

• These are used as subject of the sentence. The noun closest to the verb decides the subject-verb  agreement.
• The nouns in the sentence should be both singular and both plural.
• In the given sentence  Doctor is mentioned plural and nurse is mentioned singular.
• Always first noun should be singular and  the second noun should be plural.

• So the given sentence can be written in two ways.
