The Role of Ambulatory Care Nurses

Ambulatory care nurses are essential in delivering top-notch health care beyond the confines of traditional hospitals. Ambulatory care nurses provide care for patients who are receiving diagnostic and treatment services that do not require an inpatient hospital stay. They work in non-traditional hospital environments such as outpatient clinics, primary care offices, and urgent care centers.
