"If you have any trouble, push the nurse call button."
If it's not natural, can you give me good one?

Not a thing wrong with it. Want to know how I know?
1. I'm American
2. I'm a nurse
3. I probably heard and said that same thing a million times in 35 years of nursing.

If you are referring to a button labeled, 'nurse', then the sentence is correctly stated, however improperly written.
The word 'nurse' needs to be defined as it is here.
If there is only one button, and it is given that it refers to the nurse, then omit that word... "If you have trouble, push the call button."

Proper good old English formal grammar would definitely require a hyphen between the two words before the word "button"

Usually it's just called a "call button."
I would rephrase it to say "If you need the nurse, press the call button."
