I have found a monthly nurse on the 1881 census return, but she aslo has (S M S) as shown, what could these initials stand for. In this case she was also the child's grandmother.

You haven't provided a reference but I am guessing that the "SMS" was added in a different hand. Am I right?
This is just a statistical classification scribbled down when the data was being extracted. It meant something to the staff who were preparing the figures. Perhaps it meant Supplementary Medical Services or something like that. It's not something to worry about.

It stands for 'Subsidiary Medical Services.'
