What is infusion nursing?!?

[BrownskinbambiRN]

I started right out of nursing school, landed my 1st job in infusion in cancer center never wanted to go to the hospital and won’t . As I get more exp will go to travel

It kind of landed on my lap tho, hospital jobs were not calling me back and that came about so I took it

I’m a 6 year ICU nurse and getting so burnt out on the stress and death and everything. This is a light for me. Great info and perspective. Thank you.

I’m starting this next week. I’ve been a nurse for 16 years and I’m over it… very excited to start this new venture. Great video! Thanks!

I went from trauma/ step-down, ED, outpatient oncology, and now getting into home infusion in 3 years lol. I got my critical care and hospital experience out of the way early and need this so I can balance school and maintain work/life balance. I honestly would have reconsidered grad school if I found home infusion sooner, but it's still a win for me.

OR/trauma nurse here, in an extremely busy trauma hospital, extreme short staff, etc. The burnout is soooo real lmao, literally burning my candle from both ends! Been looking into infusion nursing. Im only nervous as my anesthesia always handled the IVs, I’m worried about not having those skills 😕 but I learn quick! I have plenty of other nursing skills. The Monday-Friday schedule, no more nights, no more holidays, that sounds like a dream! Work life balance?? What’s that 🤣?? I’m going to do an IV course, as a start. I have no issue with talking to patients and building that relationship. I love that part ❤

I Love This Guy!!!! & I am very glad I started Home Infusions! After 14 years in the ER this is like a Working Vacation. It can get busy but then Checks get larger so, it all evens out in the end. Not for New Nurses or Adrenaline Junkies. My only concern was "am I going to make the same amount of Money?" Jury is still out, I just started so I will report back after I finish a full year in the business. Thanks for the Video Steven!!!

I'm an acute dialysis nurse with eight years of experience, and I truly love my work. However, I struggle with achieving a work-life balance. I think I could benefit from some training in IVs. My areas of expertise are fistulas, grafts, and central venous catheters (CVCs), but I believe that this nursing specialty is the right fit for me. Thank you for the information!

I’m a new grad also. I just accepted an infusion job with an oncology group. As a wife and mom of 3 it is perfect for my family.

Thank you so much for making this video. I found it to be very informative. Based on the information you shared I'm going to explore this area of nursing. It really appeals to me.

Current ER nurse here. I’m interested in finding something to get me away from the hospital and break up my intense routine but still working in the ED. I think this will be an awesome side gig!

Spot on video in every aspect of your topics!! Thank-you!

[wendywrenn]

Thanks for this information. Considering transitioning from Med Surge to Infusion Outpatient Clinic, so this video was right on time for me!

[JaneJones]

Great video very informative and much appreciated. My background is similar to yours including a big and crazy ER. I Actually took it up a notch from there and then burned out. Took some time off from nursing. I just had an initial screening interview for an infusion nursing job. I hadn’t found a lot of information on the Internet about what it is actually like, so your video was invaluable to me. Thanks again very much and best wishes!

I graduate in a month with my BSN. This is something that I have been interested in for some time but haven't looked into. I have a lot of interest in rheumatology as I have an autoimmune disease myself. Like you said, I don't plan on starting out in this, however I have to find something I can fall back on when my body finally says enough is enough, and this might be it.

[alejandroanddrade]

Thanks so much for your time and consideration by sharing all of this valuable info with the community. I'm a Mexican nurse with a specialty in intensive care and I consider myself proficient at starting ultrasound guided ivs´.Also I´m looking forward to get a nursing license at california and would love to get into infusion nursing.

[Lotrfan]

Thanks for making this! I think I'm gonna do this

[coffeepandacat]

I think this is what I want to do after nursing school. Either this or OR nursing. I'm going to try for this first because I want to make sure I have my nursing skills on lock before going into OR. I know in the OR you kinda miss out on some skills or w/e.

[The_Blanco_Bronco]

What are the most common meds you give in this job? Also, how often are you accessing central lines or ports?

[lisar.]

Lots of good info. One thing I was waiting for though is who do you work for? Home healthcare? Hospital? Your own company? Bro, how you gonna leave that out? 😂

[ubeng]

Great Information, thank you for sharing, Im looking for something like this in NY area
