What is a PICC Line RN?

A PICC Line RN is a registered nurse who specializes in the insertion, care, and maintenance of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC lines). These nurses are trained to safely place PICC lines, which are used to deliver medications, nutrients, or fluids directly into a patient's bloodstream over a long period. PICC Line RNs also educate patients and families about catheter care and monitor for any complications, such as infections or blockages. Their expertise is crucial in hospitals, outpatient clinics, and home healthcare settings.
