Introduction
If anything we learned in 2020, is the importance of a healthcare system. While we often credit doctors and surgeons for their diligence, many healthcare workers remain hidden from mainstream recognition. Some of them include IV Nurses working day and night to help patients in dire need of medical assistance.
History
Recognition is long overdue for the nurses who perform IV therapy
Reads the official IV Nurse Day proclamation. Set up in 1980, the U.S celebrates National IV Nurse Day on January 25. Every year, the House of Representatives designated this day to celebrate and appreciate the contributions of the nation’s infusion nurse specialists, as well as the Infusion Nurses Society. Infusion therapy nurses are an important part of the health care team that delivers the right dosage of drugs. It also prevents patients from catheter-related bloodstream infections.
