IV Nurse?

This may sound like a dumb question, but what exactly does a home health IV nurse clinician do? Is it just a matter of just hanging IVs all day? I am good with inserting IVs and would love to be an IV nurse in the hospital setting, but I am guessing one would not be doing that in home health and that the two jobs are probably very different. Can anyone shed some light on this issue and does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

I am a home health nurse who runs infusions for patients who have home orders to do so. Sometimes I have to see someone once a day, sometimes twice. It really isn't any different than going in, assessing the patient, following the care plan, and doing a dressing change or other procedure. All but one of my patients come home with PICC lines of one variety or another. Does this help?
