PICC Independent Contracting

mattsmom81 · Oct 11, 2004

I'm interested in learning to insert PICCS so I can contract my services in the area...anyone have any suggestions or referrals? Anybody here do this or know someone who does? I had a referral at one point but lost it...dang! :chuckle

Unfortunately, I have nothing helpful to ad other then encouragment! You go Mattsmom!

I tried to get over to the Specials Dept where I work PRN and learn this skill; it sounds so cool to do. I have watched trained nurses put these in, it doesn't look complicated and of coorifice is a precise skill. Much to my surprise, the facility where I worked hired an LPN to train to put these in! I guess they (the facility) is saving a couple of bucks on hiring her instead of me!

Their loss...

Good luck to you Mattsmom.

Thanks Nightngale...guess I can call all the infusion companies and see if they'll talk...LOL!

I hoped one of our Allnurses entrepeneurs might be involved with this sort of thing, but guess not? I'll watch this thread for a few days and see.

Thanks again! :)

Hey Mattsmom: I currently place PICC's for a Radiology Company (PRN), usually 5-8 days amonth. I get 125.00 per picc (successfull or not) usually these are in a Nursing Home or Rehab hospital, and rarely in a patients home.

My incorporation is in Nevada, I did almost all of it myself, with alittle help from a CPA.

Good luck----BP

R U in Ft. Worth? If so I use to work at Plaza Medical in FTW. We contracted a PICC line service. The RN who owned the company had a couple of employees and more business then she could handle. Let me know if you want more info. I can't remember her co. name off the top of my head but could probably get it for you if your interested and in the area.

I work with a supervisor who inserts PICC lines--DFW area (Arlington). Would you like me to fish around for some info? She has been a nurse around here forever, so I am assuming she picked up the PICC skills around here somewhere.
