Outpatient Registered Nurse (RN) Jobs

Outpatient RN Jobs Overview

As a registered nurse, you know that many procedures such as cataract surgery, colonoscopy/endoscopy, dialysis, gallbladder removal, and tonsillectomy can be performed outside of a hospital in an outpatient setting. Not only does this offer conveniences to the patient, but to you as well.

If you love treating patients in acute care settings but prefer not to work long shifts or at night and over the weekends, you should consider exploring outpatient RN jobs. In ambulatory care settings, the workday is typically eight hours long.

You can find full-time, part-time, contract, temporary, and per diem RN outpatient jobs in a range of facility types, including:

• Retail clinics
• Urgent care
• Primary care and specialty care clinics
• Same day surgery centers
• Medical offices

Resume and Cover Letter for RN Outpatient Jobs

As you prepare to apply to jobs, take some time to ensure your RN resume addresses the top requirements mentioned in each outpatient RN job description. For instance, if an employer wants to hire an RN who can schedule patients for diagnostic tests, consults, referrals, and admissions to the hospital, be sure to include that experience in your resume. If you have relevant credentials, such as ambulatory care nursing certification or med-surg certification, highlight that as well.

Then in your RN cover letter, you might want to make mention of your organizational and time management skills. Aligning your qualifications to an RN outpatient job ad in this way can help demonstrate to an employer that you’d be a great fit.
