Hi, I'm Rodel. I'm a nurse.
Is this a hospital?
A kids' urgent care is a clinic, not a hospital. It cares for kids who are sick or injured and need a doctor soon. Many are open in the evening and on weekends.
When it is your turn, someone checks your temperature and weight. You can take slow, deep breaths when someone listens to your heart and lungs. They also look closely at whatever brought you in.
Kids do not stay overnight at an urgent care. Most go home with their grown-up after the visit.
Thanks for watching!
