Ambulatory care nurses are registered nurses who specialize in treating patients in an outpatient or short stay setting. They’re part of a multidisciplinary healthcare team that provides primary care to a diverse population. The continuity of patient care that’s often provided in outpatient settings allows nurses to bond with their patients, which can make these positions very rewarding. The outpatient settings also frequently offer a better work/life balance with shorter business hours that often don’t require working nights and limited weekend hours required.

Ambulatory care nurses may hold a Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) or Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS), among others.

Ambulatory nurses can specialize in several fields. Some healthcare employers may prefer or may even require specific professional certifications, including Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS), Ambulatory Care Nursing Certification (AMB-BC), Certified Addictions Registered Nurse (CARN), Cardiac Device Remote Monitoring Specialist (CDRMS), Certified Developmental Disabilities Nurse (CDDN), Certified Otorhinolaryngology Nurse (CORLN) or Certified Registered Nurse in Ophthalmology (CRNO).
