A typical day for an urgent care nurse is rarely typical. I have been a nurse for 23 years, and have been at Bristol Community Health's Urgent Care Centre for one year. My work within an emergency department (ED) and even as a nurse in the outback of Australia helped prepare me for the ever-changing environment in the centre.
The Urgent Care Centre is located next to the South Bristol Community Hospital. The centre is run by Bristol Community Health, a not-for-profit social enterprise providing community healthcare in Bristol.
