What kind of patients do you see on a daily basis in ambulatory settings?

Acute, emergent and routine

Tongue in cheek...you would think those able to walk in...NOPE. STRETCHERS included. If a human can suffer from it YOU WILL SEE IT

Cataract surgery
Podiatry

Adults ENT sinus surgeries, nose fxs
Orthopedic small surgeries arthroscopic knee shoulder
A lot of cases really and it can be super busy especially on eye days or pain management days

If it's Family Medicine e everything from cradle to grave@

Depending on the clinic I’m working, internal Medicine, for example, we can many hypertension and Diabetes patients, or if I’m working our Cancer Center, those patients are Breast Cancer, Lung Cancer, etc and many of them will see the doctor prior to receiving their IV CHEMO treatment. We have many specialty clinics.. some even have minor procedures (usually biopsies) done in the exam room and we assist with setting up for those.

Depends on the clinic you’re working with. RNs are utilized in primary care clinics, dermatology offices, oncology outpatient clinics, infusion clinics, ent, etc.

That would depend on the type of ambulatory center you work in. The site I worked at was an extension of the hospital and we had a large variety of providers, thus giving us a lot of different types of patients. Sub specialties included dermatology, cardiology, ob/gyn, podiatry, GI, pediatrics, pulmonary, urology. Made for interesting array of clientele

GI procedures, Appendectomy, Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy, hernia repair cataract surgery

Daily ambulatory settings allow me to see good patients with good patience. Just a step away are abusers, drunks, drug addicts, murderers, psychos, thieves and the wasted woke. Ambulatory is healthier than non-ambulatory I do believe.
Ambulatory clients in prison systems are good. Ambulatory in public is fun.
Healthy, ambulatory and living are good,
