Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BASIC for Nurses at none against Happy Nurse's 2. BASIC for Nurses also leads on ads (none vs shown). Happy Nurse's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 8 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
