Hands-On Chronic Patient RNs

Sabio Systems

Hospital, Outpatient Clinic, Home Health, or Chronic Care Facility Setting

Position Title : Registered Nurse - Chronic Patient Care (IV Therapy Specialist) Common Local Titles : Chronic Care Infusion RN, Home Infusion Nurse, Oncology/Dialysis IV RN, Palliative Care IV Specialist
Primary Focus

Deliver direct, hands-on nursing care to patients managing chronic conditions requiring ongoing IV therapy, such as:
  • Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) for malabsorption or GI disorders
  • Long-term IV antibiotics for recurrent infections (e.g., cystic fibrosis, Lyme disease)
  • Chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapies for cancer patients
  • IV immunoglobulin (IVIG) for autoimmune or immunodeficiency disorders
  • Inotropic support for advanced heart failure
  • Hydration and electrolyte management for chronic kidney disease or dialysis patients
  • Palliative infusions for pain control in end-stage illnesses
This role emphasizes patient-centered care in San Jose's diverse healthcare landscape, including urban hospitals like UC Davis Medical Center and Sutter Health, outpatient infusion centers, and home health agencies serving the Central Valley.
Key Responsibilities (Hands-On & Patient-Facing)
  • Execute venipuncture, PICC/midline/central line insertions, and port accesses for patients with compromised veins due to chronic illness; utilize ultrasound guidance as needed.
  • Administer complex IV therapies (e.g., vesicants, biologics, TPN, blood products) per physician orders, with vigilant monitoring for complications like infiltration, sepsis, or hypersensitivity.
  • Perform site assessments, dressing changes with chlorhexidine protocols, and line flushes to minimize central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs).
  • Titrate infusions (e.g., vasopressors, opioids) based on real-time vital signs and lab results; respond to emergencies like anaphylaxis or fluid overload.
  • Conduct thorough patient assessments, including pain scales, nutritional status, and psychosocial needs; collaborate on care plans with multidisciplinary teams (e.g., nephrologists, oncologists).
  • Provide education to patients and caregivers on home IV management, pump usage, infection prevention, and recognizing complications; facilitate transitions from hospital to home care.
  • Document in electronic health records (e.g., Epic at UC Davis or Cerner at Sutter) with detailed notes on infusions, responses, and follow-ups; ensure compliance with HIPAA and Joint Commission standards.
  • In home health roles (common with agencies like Kaiser Permanente or Alignment Health), perform field visits, coordinate supplies, and manage on-call emergencies in San Jose metro areas.
  • Support triage via phone or secure messaging for chronic patients; assist in clinic flow for high-volume days.
Required Qualifications & Credentials (California Context)

CategoryRequirements License Active California Board of Registered Nursing (BRN) RN license; no restrictions. Education Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) or Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) from an accredited program; BSN preferred for Magnet hospitals like UC Davis. Training/Certification • Competency in IV therapy via nursing education or employer-verified experience (BRN does not require separate IV certification for RNs, but specialized training needed for high-risk therapies). • Basic Life Support (BLS) required; Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) mandatory for critical care/chronic settings. • ONS/ONCC Chemotherapy Immunotherapy Certificate for oncology roles; CRNI (Certified Registered Nurse Infusion) highly recommended for infusion expertise. • Wound care or dialysis certification preferred for relevant chronic conditions. Experience Minimum 1-2 years acute/chronic care experience, with 6+ months in IV therapy (e.g., oncology, ICU, home infusion); 2-3 years preferred for independent roles. Skills Proficiency in venipuncture, central access management, pharmacology of chronic meds; strong cultural competency for San Jose's diverse population (e.g., Spanish/Asian language skills valued); EMR fluency (Epic/Cerner). Other Valid CA driver's license and insurable record for home health; ability to lift 50 lbs and stand for extended periods; TB test, flu vaccine, and background check.
