I am trying to decide between NSO and Proliability for malpractice insurance. I am not aware of other companies as of now. I understand that malpractice insurance has become essential for every nurse, regardless of area of practice, expertise, or exp...

Wow! That's an example of true perseverance! It is during times like these that I think back to the times when people told me that as a nurse, one could pretty much diversify into any area, and work in the area one liked best. Still trying. It's har...

I have only heard of Infusion Nurses. What is this job like? I need to switch jobs soon! I am suffocating at my current job. Is there anything nurses in this area may see fit to share with me, and others like me? - Tips - Advice - Warnings - Experien...

So, you basically started infusion nursing with the skills you had on the floor, and then worked hard on developing them by yourself on your new job? That was brave!

Thank you Daytonite :)

Everything else sounds ideal. However, if not all nurse are able to initiate a peripheral, what are your basic-skills requirements before you employ an RN as an "Infusion RN."

I want to believe that not all infusion nurse jobs are on-call... or are they?

Which hospital system karnicurn? Which area of which state? I'm in NY, but I feel like I am ready to relocate if I have to!

We're definitely in the same boat! At least, you have more experience than I do. I'm talking about NY - where is it that you're having difficulty finding a NICU job? Wish you all the best too!

Thank you rnpic - that explains a lot :)

Sounds great Jamonit! Did you go into infusion nursing because you felt like you had exceptional IV insertion skills, or did you train after you decided upon the specialty? How do you train to get into this area? What is your role during a PICC inser...

Thank you Nccity2002 :)

Thank you Iris!

Which area are these hospitals you look at, in? Would you mind naming a few so I could look at those specifically?

Thanks OklaLPN. Wow! That's odd for a company trying to get more consumers!

Thank you katnicurnc! What are these NICU levels? Is there a new grad program of sorts for people who switch specialties in your institution?
