Question 3

What is an Urgent Care Nurse?

Accepted Answer

Urgent care nurses are registered nurses who specialize in providing walk-in care to patients with non-life-threatening yet urgent needs. Patients seeking urgent care can be of any age and present with a wide range of issues, so working in an urgent care clinic can be unpredictable. The increasing demand for urgent, non-emergency care has made these clinics one of the fastest-growing segments of healthcare and heightened the demand for experienced urgent care RNs. Workdays are often fast-paced but with less drama than an ED yet with the same challenge of never knowing who might walk in with what problem.
