Can anyone tell me about infusion nursing? How did you get into it? (I see a lot of job postings but they all want experience.) Also I got my RN early in the pandemic, so I never got a preceptorship, and I’ve since worked mostly in immunizations. Took a phlebotomy/IV course for more practice, but… any advice?

I absolutely loved it. I was terrible at IVs in the beginning but with practice you get better. It is not a very hard job compared to floor nursing, may be more difficult than immunizations depending on what you’re doing. I would do it again in a heartbeat, but it was a travel contract

I got into it by mistake actually. I had 2 years med surg experience , applied for a med surg contract, job app somehow got routed to a infusion center, and I spoke to the manager and they hired me lol

You will also learn to access ports, do central line dressing changes, remove central lines, and draw labs.

Yep all of which are easy to learn. It’s like working in a clinic but you start lines or access ports on everyone lol. Give em a snack and a tv remote and you’re good lol

Comforting others:
When someone tells me bad news regarding their health, I say everything I am supposed to say (I’m sorry to hear that, I’m here for you, etc) EXCEPT “everything is going to be ok”. Because I can’t guarantee that and I really don’t know if everything is going to be ok. I was taken aback recently when a friend told me I am calloused and cold-hearted for not being able to say those words. Is she right? Should I start saying this for the purposes of providing comfort only??
