Infusion Nursing
Introduction
Infusion nurses are vital members of the healthcare team. They administer intravenous medications to patients, which is a very specialized field that requires a lot of training and experience. There is a need for infusion nurses to help patients receive the proper care they need; however, there is not always enough of them to meet that need.
Infusion nurses administer intravenous medications to patients.
Infusion nurses work in hospitals, clinics and at home.
To become an infusion nurse, you must complete a nursing program which always includes study in pharmacology and IV administration. An infusion nurse gets specialized experience after nursing school and can progress to a certification in infusion. There are many medical specialties in which an infusion nurse can work.

They work closely with other healthcare professionals to ensure the safe delivery of IV medications to patients. This includes nurses, doctors and pharmacists who are responsible for assessing the patient's condition prior to administering IV drugs or fluids.
Infusion nurses also interact directly with patients and their families; informing them about their treatment plan and answering any questions they may have about what's going on during treatment. At Health Care Medical Infusion Specialties, they visit your home for care as well.
Infusion nurses are the backbone of infusion therapy. There are currently more than 100,000 registered infusion nurses across the United States alone who provide more than 1 million hours per day (or an average of approximately 18 hours each) working with various types of intravenous medications.
