I don't think Urgent Care facilities in FL are required to have a Physician on-site at all times.
& as of 2020, APRN's in Florida can open their own practices, without a Doctor. They can also write prescriptions on their own.
Write to your congressman or local elected officials if you don't like the law ... & in the mean time, you maintain your right to not see a "nurse", if you want a doctor.
