Mobile IV Nursing
- Mobile intravenous (IV) nurses provide a unique and needed service to individuals seeking health and wellness solutions in their homes or offices.
- Some companies hire nurses as employees and others add nurses as independent contractors, providing the necessary infrastructure for the mobile IV nurse to start their own business.
- Nurses should examine the type of work, travel requirements, and potential work hours if they are considering becoming a mobile IV nurse.
Posts from mobile IV nurses on TikTok have gotten over 34 million views, displaying everything from how to insert an IV to how much mobile IV nurses can make. Health and wellness solutions companies have creatively expanded the market, and they helped nurses along the way.
With mobile IV nursing, infusions may be done at the patient’s home or work. Also, nurses have raised their earning potential and become their own bosses. Dive into what a mobile IV nurse does, how to become one, and discover the pay potential.
What Is Mobile IV Nursing?
Mobile IV nurses administer mobile IV infusion therapy. This is not a new field but during the pandemic, the role has expanded. Mobile IV nurses may administer medications or wellness therapies in IV solutions.
You may be familiar with the role of an IV infusion nurse in a hospital or clinic setting. While a mobile IV nurse also administers solutions through an intravenous line, those solutions vary. For example, a mobile IV nurse may administer a vitamin solution or an infusion blend of antioxidants and electrolytes.
A mobile IV therapy nurse must be able to start a peripheral IV in a patient’s home or work environment. They should administer the necessary IV solutions and observe the patient during the treatment. In some cases, the nurse may be asked to administer COVID-19 testing or give intramuscular injections.
Individuals may request a mobile IV nurse to administer a next-day remedy after excessive alcohol intake or a recovery blend after an intensive endurance workout.
The range of possibilities is broad. Additionally, mobile IV therapy may also include standard Western medical solutions, such as home-based antibiotic therapy. The service helps to fill a gap in healthcare for patients who may need IV hydration or want additional help to get over the stomach flu.
