IR *wants* to place PICC's.. now what??

Hello, just have a quick inquiry:

I live in a rural area and I'm interested in PICC insertion.

I'd be happy doing contracts.
I'd be happy starting PICC teams in a couple small hospitals and "make" myself a job.

I have access to several small hospitals, say 100-150 beds each.

ALL of them appear to use a contracted IR service that rolls in a mobile unit, once/twice a week or so.

The IR service does the PICC lines for the hospitals.

When I contacted the IR service, in regard to either employment/contract or to just get basic info;
they pretty much told me that they don't feel a nurse should be dabbling in the physician's arena by inserting central lines, and that if I thought I could take anything from them, to have at it.
Seems they will threaten to cancel their IR contract with the facility if anyone tries to muscle in on their turf, so to speak.
Yes, I just said they suggested they'll drop a multi-million-dollar contract over [the 100 PICCs] they claim to do per year.
And it does exactly what they want it to do. It makes the administration say "no, thanks, go away." when I approach the hospital about saving money.

Second problem is even worse... Contacting the local LTC and SNF operations netted this:
"Um, we mostly use LPN's and we certainly won't let them touch deep lines. Besides, why would a patient have a PICC outside of an ICU? Certainly not here."

So any advice on how to approach those massive problems?

It looks like a sewn-up, po-dunk, slam-dunk to me.... never gonna happen, unless I'm missing something really silly.

However; there is the hope of one city hospital that might be a candidate for a PICC team if I can show them how to make it work.
Any help appreciated!
thanks,
