Hello all. I am just curious as to how IV nurses and PICC nurses are paid at other facilities. I am a member of an IV team at a 535-bed Level II Trauma center. We average around 200 PICCs per month. Our department is staffed 24/7 for IV services and PICCs. Right now PICCs are placed from 0700 until 2200 and starting in a month we will be placing PICCs 24/7, except during the hours of 11p-7a only urgent PICCs will be placed because there are only 2 IV nurses at night, one of which is a PICC nurse. Our department asked our manager if we should be paid specialty pay because we provide a service that a "regular" floor nurse cannot do. We could float to others depts, but we are not required, but other depts could not float to us. Do any of you receive specialty pay or are compensated for your skills? Thanks so much.
