Tips to Become an
Ambulatory Care Nurse
The ambulatory care nursing is fully committed to delivering
actionable content. Drawing on firsthand industry expertise,
the Integrity Network members serve as an additional step in
the editing process and help confirm content accuracy. These
contributors are:
Suggest changes to any kind of inaccurate or
misleading information.
Provide specific and corrective feedback.
Identify all the critical information that writers may
have missed.
Ambulatory Care Nurse
An Ambulatory care nurse is an RN who provides nursing care to patients not
admitted to any hospital. The role involves patient care in the:
Outpatient clinics
Same-day surgery facilities
Diagnostic settings
Telehealth or community health settings
These nurses need comprehensive, multidisciplinary clinical knowledge to properly
assess and effectively provide nursing ‌
care to different patients, including adults,
seniors, adolescents, children, community members, and others.
There are several steps to becoming an ambulatory care
nurse:
Earn an ADN or BSN Degree
Consider the type of program that best meets the needs of
the applicant. Qualifying for an RN degree includes an
associate degree in nursing (ADN) or a bachelor's degree in
nursing (BSN).
Pass the NCLEX to Receive RN Licensure
The NCLEX-RN exam is a 265-question RN
licensing test on managing and supervising
the patient. It is an adaptive test for soon-to-
be nurses. Nurses can almost take from
around 75 to 265 questions to pass this
exam.
Gain Clinical Nursing Experience
Nurse graduates planning to work in any ambulatory care
need their specialized skills.
For instance, a nurse that works in oncology ambulatory
care will need to learn a specific set of skills related to
providing support to patients after receiving cancer
treatment.
Featured Online RN-to-BSN in Nursing Programs
RNs qualify as ambulatory care nurses with an associate in nursing (ADN)
degree or a bachelor’s degree (BSN) to become ambulatory nurses.
ADN Degree
An associate degree in nursing (ADN) is a two-year degree course
that requires a credit point of 60-75 points for its completion.
The ADN is also one of the fastest paths to becoming a
registered nurse. An ADN involves courses that prepare nurses
for passing the NCLEX-RN for an RN license which is a must for
the job.
BSN Degree
A bachelor of science in nursing (BSN) is a four-year
degree that requires almost a credit point of 120
points for program completion. Nurses with a BSN
degree can also perform all the same clinical duties
as an ASN, but a BSN nurse opens doors for more
career options, such as nurse administrative
positions.
Working as an Ambulatory Care Nurse
Ambulatory care nurses perform different duties, depending
on their setting.
Urgent Care Facilities
Ambulatory care nurses perform different patient
assessments, help with diagnostic testing, assist in
procedures, and provide patient teaching.
Inserting IV catheters
Administering medications
Outpatient Clinics
Outpatient clinics require a wide variety of nursing skills, depending on their
practice. Ambulatory care nurses working in pediatrics often administer
vaccines and other medications, whereas those in cardiology practices need
knowledge of specialized equipment, such as EKG monitors.
Ambulatory Care Centers
It requires specialized nursing skills. Specific types of care include:
Ambulatory care nurses must go through
ambulatory care nurse training and be licensed
as RNs. There is an option for these nurses, also
known as a certification for ambulatory care
nurses, but the designation is not required for
working as an ambulatory care nurse. The
nursing certifications and licensures, including
the RN license, require ongoing renewals and
requirements vary by state.
