Empower your patients. Pursue your passion. Be the RN you dreamed of. Because it all matters.
Get ready for a nursing career experience unlike any other. Accredo Infusion Nurses travel to patient homes and deliver critical infusion drugs, but thats only half of our story. The other half?

In this role, youll work independently to make decisions and execute them for the best possible outcome for your patients, while feeling the impact youre making every single day.
How youll make a difference:
Be a coach to empower your patients to be at their best. Focus on the overall well-being of your patients and work with Pharmacists and Therapeutic Resource Center (TRC) to ensure your patients needs are met.
Take full ownership of the patient experience. Travel to patient homes and administer IV infusion medications autonomously, providing response management and follow-up care.
Be the single point of contact for regular updates on patient status. Armed with a tablet, you are the single point of contact to ensure all clinicians are in the know about your patient. Youll be expected to document all interactions and communication with patients including assessments, treatments, responses, disease progression, etc.
Challenge yourself to be a better nurse every day. Use your commitment to your craft, confidence in your abilities, positive attitude, and adaptability to handle even the most difficult situations with the support of your leader and team.
