What is an IV RN?

IV RNs, or Intravenous Registered Nurses, are specialized nurses trained to administer medications, fluids, blood products, or nutrition directly into a patient's vein using intravenous (IV) therapy. They are skilled in starting and maintaining IV lines, monitoring for complications, and educating patients about their treatment. IV RNs often work in hospitals, outpatient clinics, or home healthcare settings, and play a critical role in patient care by ensuring safe and effective IV therapy.
