Job description

Vascular Access Nurse Consultant - PICC RN

San Rafael, California

VIC the PICC ("VTP") is a specialized healthcare provider focused on vascular access consulting services to acute care hospitals, skilled nursing facilities and home healthcare. We provide vascular access device insertion services, post‑access support services including declotting, line removal, port access and venous access troubleshooting. VTP also provides continuing education, precepting and other educational support to clinical team members and customers.

VTP provides on‑site and mobile vascular access support services throughout the Western and Southern United States and prides itself on delivering innovative, affordable and easy to procure services with high levels of client and patient satisfaction.

VTP strives to create an uplifting career opportunity for clinical team members and an environment that emphasizes our core values of Integrity, Support, Respect, Inquisitiveness, Compassion and Stewardship.

Job Description

We’re seeking RNs with USGIV experience for full‑time roles, with paid training into PICC line insertion. If you’re looking to step away from the fast pace of bedside nursing while continuing to make an impact, this role offers evening/night scheduling options including 2 PM–2 AM, 3 PM–3 AM, or 4 PM–4 AM shifts. Experienced PICC nurses welcome (Per Diem or Full‑Time).

As a Vascular Access Nurse Consultant, you will work collaboratively with our customer's clinical team to resolve venous access issues to facilitate the treatment objectives of the treating physician. You may work inside or outside the hospital setting depending on each individual referral, providing you with a unique career opportunity to observe different treatment protocols and patient challenges. If you are looking for a change and tired of 12 hours on your feet or rushing from patient to patient with no time to provide quality care, this would be the perfect opportunity for you.

Key Responsibilities

• Place PICCs, midlines, and peripheral IVs using ultrasound guidance
• Utilize ECG technology for PICC tip confirmation
• Assist with management of PICCs and vascular access devices
• Provide a wide range of vascular access support services including port access, line removal, declotting, etc.
• Educate facility nursing staff regarding PICCs, midlines and other CVADs

Eligible for $10,000 sign‑on bonus for full‑time employment, based on prior vascular access experience.

Scheduling

In this role, consultants visit patients in different customer facilities and therefore must be willing to travel and able to fulfill scheduling requirements based on business needs. The role offers evening and overnight coverage with shifts such as 2 PM–2 AM, 3 PM–3 AM, or 4 PM–4 AM. Full‑time scheduling requires three to four days per week, including weekends, and participation in the holiday rotation. Part‑time (Per Diem) requires a minimum of four scheduled shifts per month, including weekends, and participation in the holiday rotation.

Training and Experience Requirements

• Ideal candidates are experienced in both ultrasound‑guided IV (USGIV) placements and vascular access device (VAD) insertions.
• Training available in some locations for candidates with recent, consistent USGIV placement experience.
• Priority given to fully trained vascular access nurses, but additional training available for those with strong USGIV skills.

Required Qualifications

• Registered Nurse with current license
• American Heart BLS Certification
• Experience in vascular access device (VAD) management, including care, maintenance, and troubleshooting
• Experience placing ultrasound‑guided IVs (USGIVs)
• Ability to work independently and fulfill scheduling requirements
• Valid driver’s license, active auto insurance, and reliable transportation for travel to patient sites
• Must possess a smartphone

Preferred Qualifications

• Minimum of 3 years of acute‑care RN experience
• Experience placing PICCs, midlines, or other vascular access devices using ultrasound
• Prior vascular access or PICC experience preferred

Compensation is based on candidate experience and relevant certifications.

Hourly Pay Range: $60 – $75 USD

Why Join VTP?

• Competitive pay with performance‑based bonuses.
• Professional development: ongoing education, training, and mentorship.
• Comprehensive benefits for full‑time employees, including medical, dental, vision, 401(k) match, and paid time off.
• Company‑provided vehicle or mileage reimbursement for travel between patient sites.
• Supportive culture: a positive, growth‑focused team with 24/7 on‑call support.
