As an urgent care nurse, you’ve completed all of the same education and licensure requirements as any other Registered Nurse but you serve patients with urgent needs and are considered outpatients. Just like most medical facilities, what you’re going to experience changes every day and makes for an exciting and unpredictable work environment. Urgent care nurses should be able to work in a fast-paced environment and continuously re-prioritize tasks, depending on the situation. Every patient starts with “triage” by a Nurse or trained clinical team member, where you gather general information and assess their case.

• Performing point-of-care testing as well as hematologic lab studies within our mid-complex lab
• Wound care and dressings, as well as assisting providers with minor office procedures

• Chaperoning and assisting with Women’s Health exams
• Vision/hearing testing
• Administration of immunizations
• Drug screen testing
• Occupational Health testing: breath alcohol testing, lift testing, pulmonary function testing, Tuberculosis screening
• Assessment of wounds, suture and staple removal when appropriate

When you’re not in the exam room actually treating a patient, you are:

• Assisting with patient call backs including answering questions, reporting test results, and medication/therapy changes
• Assisting with calling in prescriptions
• Reporting Communicable Diseases

• Maintaining accurate, complete records and reports
• Interacting with patients with kindness and maintaining their confidentiality by upholding HIPPA laws and rules

Working in an urgent care clinic as a Registered Nurse is similar to that of an emergency room nurse, where the environment of an urgent care clinic involves constantly pivoting to different ailments, which makes it a great option at any point in your career.
