An Independent Contractor Infusion Nurse is a registered nurse (RN) who administers intravenous (IV) therapies, medications, and treatments on a contract basis rather than as a full-time employee. They typically work with home health agencies, specialty pharmacies, or private clients, providing care in patients' homes or outpatient settings. Responsibilities include starting and maintaining IV lines, monitoring patient responses, educating patients on treatments, and maintaining detailed documentation. Because they are independent contractors, they manage their own schedules, billing, and tax responsibilities. This role offers flexibility and autonomy while requiring strong clinical skills and self-management.
