Registered Nurse (RN) - PICC Nurse

VIC the PICC (VTP) is a specialized healthcare provider offering vascular access consulting services to acute care hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, and home healthcare agencies throughout the Western and Southern United States.

• Place PICCs, midlines, and peripheral IVs using ultrasound guidance and ECG confirmation
• Assist with management of PICCs and vascular access devices
• Provide vascular access support services including port access, line removal, declotting, and device troubleshooting
• Educate facility nursing staff regarding PICCs, midlines, and central venous access devices (CVADs)

Clinical Setting

You will visit patients across multiple customer facilities, working in acute care hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, and home healthcare settings. Travel between patient sites is required.
