Whether handling to a faux patient reporting body aches, sore throat and chills or being informed on the sugar tong method – as demonstrated here by Hospital Corpsman 1st Class Jordan McCormack, orthopedic technician - to stabilize a fracture, Naval Hospital Bremerton staff members honed their medical response abilities during the recently held July Skills Fair. Navy Nurse Corps officers and hospital corpsmen had the opportunity to improve upon their suturing techniques, primary assessment procedures, IV start experience and SAM medical splints application (Official Navy photo by Douglas H Stutz, NHB/NMRTC Bremerton public affairs officer).

Did You Know? Naval Hospital Bremerton’s Urgent Care Clinic daily hours of operation are from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., seven days a week, open on weekends and all holidays except Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. Urgent medical conditions are ones which require care within 24 hours, such as minor falls (from a height less than five feet); back pain; mild asthma exacerbation; laceration care/cuts; injuries requiring x-ray; minor eye complaints; sore throat; respiratory infections; viral gastroenteritis; closed fractures (no open skin); abscess treatment and skin infections; and urinary tract infections. For those patients in need of urgent care outside of the 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. window, they can contact our Military Health System Nurse Advice Line at 1-800-874-2273 (TRICARE), Option 1 to effectively coordinate a visit to a TRICARE-network UCC. For either direct chat or video: https://mhsnurseadviceline.com/home The Nurse Advice Line (NAL) is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Nurse(s) on call will discuss the patient’s concerns and provide recommendations for home treatment/care if applicable, and whether the issue should be addressed via an UCC or emergency department visit. Additionally, per TRICARE policy, active-duty patients will need a referral to be seen at any network urgent care clinic, which can be requested through the Nurse Advice Line. Additionally, the Patient Shuttle connects NHB with Madigan Army Medical Center, which has been in place since 2015. The service operates Monday-Friday except federal holidays. It departs NHB by the UCC entrance at 7 a.m., 10 a.m., 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. The shuttle leaves Madigan by the Main Medical Mall north entrance at 8:30 a.m., 11:30 a.m., 2:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. (Official Navy photo by Douglas H Stutz, NHB/NMRTC Bremerton public affairs officer)
