Introduction
The Key Locker Note collected from the notice board behind the reception counter gives us a hint for where to look for the code:
Due to repeated instances of keys getting misplaced, from this point forward, they are to be returned to the locker at the end of every shift. All staff are required to memorize the padlock combination and are not to disclose it to anyone but authorized personnel under any circumstances.
In case of any problems, report to the head nurse in Examination Room 3.
Our destination will be Examination Room 3 on the same floor just around the corner. Go to the room, smash the glass to break into and find the Nurse's Memo inside the desk's drawer in the space between the two examination rooms:

The note's text will be different on different riddle levels, but the logic will be the same. You will have to go back to the entrance lobby of the hospital, inspect the three photos hanged on the walls in that area and count the objects in them to get the padlock combination: doctors, nurses and trees:

Note: You can skip collecting the memos and simply enter the right code to open the locker, as it will be always the same for the corresponding riddle difficulty.
Light
On light riddle difficulty, the Nurse's Memo is very simple:
The combination for the keys locker is:
2
8
The total number of the nurses in the lobby photo.
Return to the entrance lobby and inspect the photo of the nurses in the corridor. There are seven nurses in this picture, so the complete combination for the key locker padlock will be 287 on light difficulty.
Standard
On standard riddle difficulty, the Nurse's Memo will tell you:
I wrote it down for you in a way you should finally be able to remember. Once you're in the lobby, just look around. Now remember:
Nurses. Doctors. Trees.
Return to the entrance lobby and inspect all three photos on the walls. Simply count the objects in the same order. There are seven nurses, two doctors and four trees in front of the hospital, so the final combination for standard difficulty is 724.
Hard
On hard riddle difficulty, things get a little complicated as the memo is more cryptic:
If the second were as high as the number of nurses, it’d still be one short. With two of them dead and one just a fraud.
The third would chop the firewood in half.
The first was singular.
Let's start at the end. The first digit of the code is singular, that is, 1.
The second digit is the count of the nurses – 7 plus 1 = 8 (the number would be one short if it would be the same). Now we have to remove two dead persons and one fraud giving us 8 – 3 = 5.
The third digit is half the number of the trees: 4 / 2 = 2.
The final combination for hard difficulty is 152.
