Infusion Nurses work in hospitals, clinics, long-term care facilities, patients’ homes and specialty medical offices to administer IV therapy. The types of treatments they administer depend on the setting. For an oncology office, the Infusion RN job description might include chemotherapy administration, for instance. In long-term care facilities, the Infusion Nurse might supply patients with IV nutrition, fluids for hydration or medications. They care for patients before, during and after the treatments. The Infusion Nurse begins with a patient assessment to help create an appropriate care plan. They might draw blood or take other specimens for lab testing as part of the treatment. During the treatment, they monitor the flow of medication and watch for adverse effects. If the patient has complications, the Nurse responds to the urgent situation and alerts the rest of the care team. Calming patients and educating them on the procedure also go into the role.
